I'm like a moth to a flame!!!!!!!!

There is a rough guide valuation service on Auto Trader, what are you selling? A Corsa isn't it? What's the age mileage and condition?

[Claire!]

97 M Reg

 

2310000 miles (I know - was an army car to begin with)

 

Good condition - has a lot of new enginy stuff on it, especially a new radiator!!!!!

 

I have a full service history from when I've had it, although no service history before hand.

Markyate to St.Albans is not a long distance, you can drive it in 10 mins, I have CD tracks that are longer than your journey!

2.3m miles??

On the loan front, these providers offer varying rates and the lower the loan value the higher the rate. Sainsburys were good because they give you 3 months breathing space.

 

I read that if you are a day over 22 years old you should be able to apply for a loan with Lombard.

 

There is also a big extra that you pay for protections, do not take these out. Instead get an income protection plan from your bank, sounds complicated but essentially one policy covers your loan payments, the other covers your monthly wage, surprisingly the income protection is cheaper and covers more!

10 Minutes?!!!!! How fast were you driving?!!!! Even when i drive on those roads at gone 11pm, and there's nothing on the roads then, at 80mph it takes me at least 20 minutes!!!!!!!!

Try driving in rush hour, sometimes takes me up to 45 minutes to an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteveP]

Claire a Corsa with 2.3m miles is going to be a bit worn!! is it 23K or 230k?

[Claire!]

Thank you SteveP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I would never have thought about getting it protected from the bank!!!!! This would save a lot more money as well!!!!!!!!!

[Claire!]

230K miles!!!!!!!

That would make Markyate 26 miles away!

When I drive to the TV station in Flitwick I drive to the M1 at Markyate and I can to Fltwick in 25/30 mins

[SteveP]

Then it's going to be between £700-£1000 because it's experienced a lot of wear, most dealers would offer about £800 as a part ex, depending on how much profit they have in a vehicle. Anyone taking on a car with that mileage would expect to see the need for a new engine or gearbox in the forseeable future. You may be best running the vehicle into the ground till one of them go, because it will give you very cheap motoring for the time being.

 

A lot of this stuff I mention because I had to re-evaluate what I had in January and wrote off the Beamer. I ended up breaking even with the write off and decided because I travel very high mileage 25-30k per year, that I would get a work horse, so I ended up buying a V reg Nissan Primera for £5500 with 45k on the clock, it's got air con, a cd changer, a 2.0 engine and does a job. Through a lot of hard work I owe nothing on it and it's very cheap to run.

 

The moral here is Claire, whilst the 206 is a really nice looking car, you might want to look at something that does a job, rather than something that takes the form of a bird's car! I reckon you should look for cheap Jap car Toyota, Nissan something that will be a work horse for you like your Corsa. Personal taste does count for a lot with motors, but I only buy German or Jap.

It is about 15 miles away i think. I'll check my clock thingy later!

Yeah, but i don't drive on the motorways!!!!!! Especially in the mornings, and rush hours, plus in order for me to get onto the M1 from St.Albans i would have to go well out my way to get onto it!!!! Granted i can come off at either J9 or J10, and would probably take off 5 or 10 minutes, but i know these roads so well that i don't need to take the motorway.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

You do 80mph on roads that aren't motorways??

 

 

[Claire!]

On the A5 roads yes, Well at that time of night anyway. Not during the day when there's more traffic, i only do 70, but when i'm coming back from city at that time of night i wanna get back asap so i go faster.

 

 

[SteveP]

By the way, another important thing, whilst I am trying to help you, Robbie is still, very much, gay.

[gertcha EFM]

So how long will it take us to get back from there after the Chas 'n' Dave gig in August ?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Down to Markyate!!!!!!!

[Chubbhead EFM]

This thread has made me glad that

 

A) I can't drive, therefore: don't need a car, don't need to buy one!

Don't have any credit cards!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

C) You're nearly in your 20's and you've got it all to look forward to!!
