I think i know which way it will go

BUT

I had a little accident last year and need a car for 12 months to see me through til i get some no claims back, but need something im going to enjoy, it is going to be mine and stus main car, to cruise around in now we have the house, so we deicded to go for a diesel...

I was going to have a golf, but not so sure, is it worth spending 4.5k on a car im not keeping long term??

So lets have your vote, and any opinions you have on the cars And anything i need to look out for, hoping the turbo will have gone in the next week or so, so can go start test driving hmmmm

If there are any other diesels that you think are beter and cheap to insure for a 23 year old female with a claim against her all the above are coming out around Ł1k fully comp, but thats not bad since they want 1300TPFT for the turbs

 

Cant vote - you need to add the "dont buy a crappy diesel" tick box!!!!

nice cheap car to run about in.

nothing wrong with that.

 

JjCoDeX75 sorry but i need one of the above


Cheers Dave, just wish i could keep the rs but hey ho pmsl

 

out of the 3 youve listed id say golf, lees mum has an a3 tdi, 130bhp model, it goes like fook and dead economical, but the leg room is atrocious, think the Golfs look better anyway

If you buy a golf for 4.5k it will hardly loose anything in 12 months if looked after

 

you have a house to pay for and look after Kim,something has to give.

 

I'd hve a good look at what you can actually get for 4.5k your at the lower end of the spectrum with the audi and gt tdi imo cause they seem to hold there value well and for that money will proably be an early high miler.

Why not try something like a civic vti youd be surprised at how cheap the insurance is and how economical they are and you would get a good 1 for 2k

 

Ha so much for Fords then lol

Actually dont know what u should buy, just thought id stop by and say hi

HI




Me

 

seen a seat turbo diesel on the rolling road yesterday it made 212bhp wid 325 lb/ft of torque, impressive

 

The Rapid 1 STEVE!!! long time no see!!!! WTF you been!!!!


I know Dave tell me abotu it gutted Still have the esccos though ill get behind the wheel yet

Alps Pacino been looking around tbh and you can get a good one for 4.5k not really into anythign else

K5SSY Stu put that one too me, not really into them either quick thoguh

 

TDCI Focus will do the job better than either of them listed above, and will drive alot better too, it'll actually go round corners lol

 

get an old escort derv van mattres in e back ur laughin lol

 

lol @ old escort van, i got an m reg clio diesel atm, its great fun, but defo not somethign i wanna keep i need somethign that looks at least HALF decent
