thinking of getting rid of the clio

[regi james]

basically I have three car and only need two the plan was to get rid of the clio which makes sense but i don't want to regret getting rid of it.

this is how they stand me financially clio £231pm(33mpg) fiesta £0pm(56mpg) micra £0pm(50mpg).

In april i can give the clio back to the finance company with no penalties the other 2 cars cost me nothing in hp and are obviously cheaper to run.

i can afford to keep the clio but work is a bit iffy aty the moment.

just wanted some advice on what to do really, don't wanna give the clio back and end up regreting it.

what would you guys do in this situation?

thanks for reading james:boring:

get rid of fiesta an micra keep zee clio you WILL regret it, i know!lol RAF wont kick you out unless your old/pants at your job

Mate, only you really can answer this, as you're the only one who really knows your situation.

If £231 is going to make a difference to your standard of living, and improves things short term for you and your family, then get shut. Yes you'll miss it, but won't be forever, and other things in life are more important than having a nice motor if it stretches you a min.

This is the reason why I'm Clio-less at the minute tbh, sorting some other stuff at min, but will be back soon.

yes that makes sense. can't say i have ever been that bothered before about getting shot of a car but for some reason the clio seems kinda special and the amount of time i've spent fixing it/money spent on it makes it even harder

Get rid of the clio. You could get a personal loan and get another if you want for a lot less money...

that sounds like a good compromise can get something decent from £2000 would be alot more affordable than what im paying at the moment.
what are the non renaultsport clio's like handling wise compared to the 1*2 if there isn't that much difference then a dci would work out cheap to maintain not as bothered about the speed

If your not bothered about the speed then just get rid. If you want some fun then a nice RS for 4k or less would be considerably cheaper per month on say a 2year loan.

Hate threads like this,

"im thinking of going to the toilet, what do you think"

You've answeared your own question. Get rid of the Clio, save yourself a few quid and then buy another or better when things pick up.
Oh and mybe join the RAF full time.

£231 a month is a lot just to own a clio.

You have to think long and hard and decide whats best financially.You will miss the blast but you will be better off...

its easy to sit there and say that but everyone makes wrong decisions at least once in ther life lol. didn't want to keep it and regret it or vice versa but hearing other peoples views sometimes puts things into perspective therfore there is only one outcome which is getting rid of the clio and running around in 2 cheap cars for at least a year

 

[Ian_182]

At least you've owned one mate.Dont dwell on it just move on.Next year with things going well you may be able to afford an even better car...

 

[regi james]

thanks people your comments really helped me make a decision, i can be indecisive at times (or am I lol). at the end of the day its just a car ther are many more important things in life

 

[jack_kemp]

Sell the 182, get shot of the micra. Then buy a ph1 172.

You've got £3k in your pocket and you've got rid of a car.

£231 a month seems an awful lot for a 182 mate. PCP on a 200 isn't a whole lot more than that!

it was expensive but i brought it 2 years ago from main dealer and i had some negative equity from my previous car on it.
i won't get anything for selling it btw just my loan paid off
