C207 E350 CDI Stick or Twist.............

[MikeInWimbledon]

Steady tiger..............
I'm not and never have been complaining about the bills and was just laying it out there what has happened over and above servicing, MOT and tyres. Also, i live in Fife so my longest journeys are maybe once every couple of months to Manchester or Milton Keynes with work and my normal journeys are to Edinburgh to visit family.
I know the answer to the cost of buying a new(er) car as opposed to (hopefully) that of keeping this one and yes, sticking for now is arguably the most sensible thing to do but you know what it is like when you start looking and thinking about a replacement. Everything looks shiney and tempting.

I'm just making the case for putting each case on one page. The executive summary, if you will.

The more we debate this "ULEZ" nonsense - a deadline which is going to slide anyway - the more ULEZ seems irrelevant for anyone not driving in the London ULEZ zone more than four days a month. The Edinburgh zone is just a virtue signalling tiny square mile so how is it even relevant ?

Shiny and tempting and new is called “man maths”

The ULEZ compliance was just one of many things i'd quoted under the cons list and it is far from the deciding factor.

I thought because you put it in capital letters it was a priority

ULEZ was the first thing you mentioned on your list of factors to be considered

I should've used good old fashioned bullet points instead of numbers as I didn't mean to make that look like a priority list
