Does this sound about right? MOT, Brakes & Tyres
Comments

Meanwhile - back in the real world the OP is wondering what to do with her Ford Fiesta.
Sarah - the price seems about right to me so I would go ahead on one condition - that the tyres are a brand that normal people have heard of.
Not some 'ying tang tiddle i po' jobs from the land of chop-sticks which will land you in the ditch the first rainy day.0 -

Sounds about right,
Tyres £150-200 for a pair.
Brake discs and pads about £100 fitted
MOT fee approx £50?0 -

£100 fitted for discs and pads for a 350z? You live in la la land, we're talking about Brembo brakes here
No were not we are talking about the OPs fiesta.0 -

The 350z is for people who can't afford a GTR (or even the bigger brother 370z).0 -

Secondly the GT-R is in a different class altogether, it competes against super cars.
I'M the one proving ignorance?
Note that I didn't say older brother, I said BIGGER brother. Also note that my post is not edited, so that really is what I said.
And although I didn't state it, one could reasonably assume that a car with a higher number is either a newer model or more powerful, or both.0
