Hello guys, Trust you are all well..
Ive another dialemma ! Im full of them this week. If you may remember I bought a jeep in October.. Always wanted one.. Boys and their toys and all that !
Well.. Now I have realised, its far far far to expensive. I need to sell it for as much as possible and buy a small car for as little as possible....
Any advice ? Pleeeease... It costs £20 for 80 miles :mad:

I know what you mean, I have a Rav 4 and that thing drinks petrol like Mikey drinks wine. I do love it though, it's dead comfy and i'm trying hard to think of reasons NOT to sell it and buy something that uses less fuel than a boeing747. Girls love their toys too.. hush up now!:A

You have no idea how many smart comments are bursting to get out of my head right now
but I shall just tell you to hush up again :rotfl:
You need to make a list of priorities I think, what you want to do and where you want to be, never mind what you think you should do. Then put them in order of how badly you want them. Now ask what is stopping you, if it's money (as it usually is) then you need to see where you can realistically make sacrifices to achieve the goals. If there is nothing much you really want right now then change nothing. I know I should sell my car because it drinks too much fuel and I could cut my travel costs but my travel costs aren't much of a problem because I'm doing ok right now. We are allowed to have one stupidity in life so long as it isn't impacting on the quality of life in other areas or putting you in debt. xxxx:A

So....
are you going to sell it? or not?
I should sell mine too - as a change in circumstances (wwana quit job) will make impractical in terms of running it.
Tis a shame though as summer is the season to have the hood down:j Where there is a will there is a way - there is a way and I will find it :j0 -
Hey guys - sell the jeep - no way. Can't you sell the kids?0

Evening Mike :hello: do you really love the car? if you do,can't you use it a little less to save on fuel costs? ease your right foot a little

As you know,we too have a Frontera,but don't find it that bad to run,considering the weight of it :rolleyes: We now only spend around £40/month on diesel now :j
If you decide you must sell the car,now is the best time to do it,like today with the snow forecast
Best of luck to you Mike.
LIHDebt at highest £102k :eek:

Difficult one. We've just decided to sell my hubby's car. It's old but he loves it. We're going to share mine which is little and he's not best pleased. I've promised a newer car for him is the first thing we'll save for when we're debt free but I know he's not happy. Money! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!January budget
Nothing left!0 -
Nah, get rid of it, and get something cheaper, lighter and all round better. Why drive something that weighs as much as a small country?
Hope this helps motivate you!Happy chappy0 -
