14.5k for a boggo abarth, half down now, half down in two years time at 0%apr. These things hold their value so well that 10 plate ones with average milage are going for 11k+, so to make the mental leap up to a new one isnt much of a stretch. Ive got about 9k to spend on a car, including a 1k...

Funnily enough, me too. I got cut up by one the other day and rather than exploding in impotent rage I thought 'wow, they actually look pretty cool'. Probably going to do the 50/50 deal in august.

When I was younger, I did used to take haggle money into account and price accordingly. Autotrader price and the price you are prepared to sell it for. I just find its easier to put the latter price in straight from the get go now. I think a high starting price does put people off phoning to...

£2.2k will get you a newer PH2 with similar or no miles. As a general rule of thumb, to save messing about, I usually try to price cars I sell less than the next man. For example, last time I sold a car it was my old CTR. Looked on all the usual sites and put it at a sniff less than the most of...

Just take it back

Lol. I shunted a mini this week and got a Mitsu Colt 1l as a courtesy car. First time I drove it, I nearly kicked the pedal through the f**king floor.

The point is that it would me nice if it were a massive product with its own identity.

atm its just a massive iPod touch.

Small wheels are cheaper wheels.

nitrous? Jesus!

Maybe he fancies aircon and abs for the winter?

I sold my CTR to a guy who exports hondas to malta. Even after he has paid around 800 to have it shipped out, he reckoned he will still make at least 1500-2000 on it.

With the amount of Stig merchandise on the shelves, theres no way that he wont be white.
