cannot decide, please help

[jamesd1263]

right guys i need some help and possibly a kick up the ass..

i cant decide what to do right now, im looking at getting a 182/172 cup im not fussed about colour as i like them all, trouble is i cant decide what to do with the 172 exclusive, i like the car and its a good little runner. but i cannot decide if i should sell it or break it. now i know its worth alot more in bits but it seems a shame to waste such a good car.

i cant really afford a new car without saving(same as most peopl), which i can only save around £500-600 a month.
i could get another loan (which i dont want to do) and could get another car straight away.
i could break the 172 i have space and time on saturday after 11 and evenings after 7 and wait to get the car until i have enough (but the missus live 15 miles away and i dont want her driving to me all the time)
or i could sell the 172 for a fraction of the price and put the money towards to what i have saved now

HELP please.... im s**t at making these choices

cheers guys

tbh mate nothing, belts are due next year and keys are faulty (one needs a squeeze when you turn it to turn off immobiliser)

i just want a change

Get it serviced and put a new battery in the key and keep it.

Better the devil you know.

If you're feeling really flush get it sprayed and get rid of the awful interior

You don't wanna get rid of a good runner an spend lots of monies then find out your new car is a mechanical nightmare

new interior is on the card anyway
ive saved £600 from yesterdays pay slip to get the belts done but then it got me thinking. i couldjust get a new motor
i might wait until next month get another 600 and give it to danny@519automotive and say do both belts and dephaser and give it a general good going over

yeah i know what you are saying, i got this off of beanie but the engine dropped a shell 4-5 months after. (not his fault at all) i only got it because he is a reputable person on here and clio16v. since then its been decent (apart from and earth fault and starter fault)

Even though I much prefer the Ph2, I'd just keep what you've got now! If you want a 'change' why not go for a completely different car altogether anyway?

Good lad!

Best option, IMO id keep the Exclusive - if it's a good car then no point 'upgrading' to what is basically the same car lol :quiet:

 

[Ryang556]

Looks like a nice tidy car, keep it!

Don't see many of those around either!

 

[jamesd1263]

The only other 2 ive acutally seen were being broken!

 

[Russ_16v]

I sold my Exclusive a while back, was such a lovely car
