I sold my car!

I sold my car yesterday!!!

I've gone from a 2003 1.9 diesel renault laguna to a 1997 1.2 vauxhall corsa.

I know some people may be like why?! lol but my car was starting to go downhill and I just needed rid of it and I wanted a smaller car. Sold it for £1,000 (luckily due to unforseen circumstances!) and brought the corsa for £995

I know I didnt make much profit but the money saving is about to be revealed.

Insurance, was £60/month, now £20/month
Taxed until April
MOT until Janurary
Service needs doing before winter weather kicks in
1.2 petrol instead of 1.9 diesel!!!!

Am very happy with the prospect of this extra money saving so fingers crossed my little car will work out! :)
