At a push it would get you a 07 plate 350z with gt pack.
If i were to buy one i would buy a gun metal grey with alezan orange leather seats. Just trying to remember if an 07 plate would be the 300ps version or the newer 313, heads gone.
Tempting. Might start looking around dealers early in the new year and see if anything tickles my fancy. I prefer the class of a German car (BMW, Audi) over the trick-ness of a Jap rice rocket though.--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

It'd have to be a real hit to make the drive-away value higher

My car isn't rapid but does 80mph no problems on the motorway and is nippy enough around town. And it can burn veggie oil (up to 50% anyway) and biodiesel so arguably good for the environment too. (I'm getting overall figures of 55-60mpg on diesel). Road tax is 140 quid per year and would actually be cheaper if the car was new enough to fall into the modern tax bands.
The nice feeling is that since it literally is worth more as scrap I have absolutely no bones about parking it anywhere. Also helps when jostling for position in city traffic with someone in a shiny X5. Muahahaha
Worth their weight in gold for that.
PS Nice to have a bit of a rest from the heavy stuff.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Even if I get a decent motor will keep the old one on the road as a runabout, I reckon.--

She is horrible.
She likes to get personal so i just like to hang around here and get personal back at her. She has me on ignore so it's all kind of pointless really, but i still do it, kind of an addiction.
How do I put people on ignore?0 -
There's a three year old PT Cruiser (60k on the clock) at a local garage round my way for £2,500. I think they're ugly as sin, but that's insanely cheap, isn't it?
I've always bought old beaters in the past, 'disposable' cars, but I could be tempted by something a little bit nicer if the prices keep on dropping!0 -

Click on their name in the top left corner of the post, then click 'View public profile' and finally on the 'put xxxxx on ignore list' link underneath the profile box on the right hand side.--
