  • makes sense to sell the saxo and continue with the vectra until something better comes up. i havent driven the vectra yet though!!

    will give a chance to save a bit more money too.

    sell the saxo keep the vectra and have a good holiday
    mpg around town is rubbish in almost any car i cant see the vectra returning anything worse than 25mpg on urban cycle
  • spoke to OH and the only focus he would consider would be the ST!!

    He is happy to sell the saxo and carry on with the vectra for a while but I can see us getting a golf in the not too distant future. Boys and their toys hey!

    Anyway will be putting the saxo up for sale at the weekend. He thinks £2000 ono but I think we will be lucky to get £1500.

    Look at the cars on such as Pistonheads or Autotrader, that'll give you an idea of what people are expecting, ring a few numbers to see if the car's sold ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
