Only had it now for about a month and could spend well..... I think the wish list is up to about £3k ++ So Im thinking 95 Plate should i just put that money to a newer model. Decisions Decisions :D
 
newer or better model definitely. the £3k you spend now will never be recouped.
 
Yeah thats what Im thinking. Its like nice and for sure would look nice and Koolvins for example is fantastic but the money would never be made back. Still It would be nice driving something that is not standard. With a personal touch. Then again Ive got the Mini for that.
 
Every car depreciates like a brick, no cars in the normal price range are investments, all are expensive money pits. If you buy a new £30k C or e class today you will blow £15k in depreciation in the next three years. I always bought nw cars every 3 or 4 years but now I just enjoy what I've got. My car attracts lots of comments about its excellent condition, its mods etc. and its worth what 8k max.

If Koolvin ever sells his car I'd love first refusal, I'd rather K's unique beautiful car than a million show room boring identical cars!!!

How about it 'k, do I get first bid when you get your A210 EVO! (for the kids)
 
if you want something different, search out a decent late 70's/early 80's CE coupe. I'm constantly toying with getting one and putting it in the garage for weekend use.
 
....an after thought, but if we all do the obvious thing we'd all be driving, metallic silver (easy to keep clean and popular), C220cdi because it is economical and reasonably quick, nice, sensible good for residuals cars. Which is exactly what companies buy for company cars.

I'm with Mickl, go and buy something a bit different, obviously not a company clone car!
 
Its a C180 sport. Its Koolvins mods that are attracting me to it though. The uniqueness and yeah did get silver for the reasons as out lined. Looks smart easy to keep clean etc. But I need one car easy to clean when the other is black white roof.. Nightmare to keep clean..!! :devil:

I dont know would be looking at around 8k max i guess.

Has Koolvin ever said what he has spent?

And what would his car be worth as it is now?
