    It's a little old bloke habit isn't it?

    Often something atrocious like a small Kia or Hyundai driven at 10mh below the speed limit in rush hour.

    Terrible way to grow old.

    Peugeot 206 in 2003.
    I've tried to buy a new car and a new motorbike but walked out on both occasions cause of the smarmy way the sales person spoke to me . Juggling figures to make me feel like he is reducing the cost when quite the opposite was reality.
    Never ever again
     
  5. Never, I have a 68 bug that’s my daily driver and my 73 bay that will be my weekend/holiday drive
     
  6. Why buy a new car that loses 2-3k when you drive off the forecourt ??

    You often see new cars sold at Peterborough auctions, they're usually cancelled orders where the car has been registered. A few I've seen recently are a BMW X1 with 81 miles and a list price of £34k SOLD FOR £23.5k. a BMW 530 with 21 miles list price £38K sold for £25k

    They have a lot of Nissan Jukes ans Quashthings brand new sold at a 40% discount.

  14. Probably on lease, as are about 85% of car 'sales' nowadays.

  15. Bought a freelander new in 2003. Bought a Citroen Dispatch new in about 2005. Never again. Both awful. Sold the landy after two years. Thankfully a bus wrote off the dispatch. Only bought the Citroen cos the wait for a Ford was too long. Shodda waited.
     
  16. Waited for a Ford!!!??? :eek:

  17. Commercial yeah. I’ve had an escort, a couple of transits, the Citroen and a Vito for a short while. Transits the best ones I’ve had. Never had a t5 cos I won’t give vw stupid money for a basic spec. Might get a new shape vivaro next for a change. But I will hire one first and if I don’t like how it drives it will be another transit.
