My car a buyers market with out trying!

Scott Wrote:If you can afford to run a petrol at the moment then this is a great time to do so. As said, people are wanting diesels (spending £2-3k on top of the value of their car to buy a diesel that's more expensive to insure, tax and maintain just to save a tenner a week lollll) so petrols have dropped in price.

Huh? Confusedhock:

£115 a year to tax, less than an XSi/'6 to insure (with mods and much more power) and no more expensive to maintain...infact much less with longlife servicing!

Just cos deisel 306s are slow and expensive to run doesn't mean all deisels of that era are! lmao


You're right about purchase price though, my Dad always buys big engined petrols cos they're cheap....he's now got a V6 mondeo estate (who would want a petrol estate anyway....theyre for lugging shit around, not bwarp! :roll: ) but pays well over £200 for tax, over £400 for insurance (and hes nearly 60!) but he doesnt maintain it so its cheaper in that aspect lol. But thing is he barely averages 20mpg............so my car is quicker and 3 times as good on fuel. With the amount of petrol he puts in he woulda been better off buying a deisel version now. :think:
