these are a good car but the running costs of these re tax/insurance and fuel ruin it, yours does look tidy all the same

this is exactly what I mean by costs as you are spending £1680 just to insure it which is more than the cars worth then a minimum of £280 a year in tax then the fuel consumption is very poor, which is a real shame as I loved my st170 but when I worked out what I was paying in running costs I ditched it but if you can afford it then good luck to you

well, im still living at home, got a full time job, the thing that gets me is that i have no, NCB, even though ive been driving for 9yrs, with no claims, but during my first two years of driving, i recieved 6points, witch triggered the loss of all licence due to the probational 2 year rule, and when i retook the test, and past, insurance was very hard to get, hence, i had to be a named driver, where my NCB was not racked up, But hey, Im hoping it will come down a good bit for next Year!!!

Nice looking car. That is cheap. I'd have bought a 5/6 RS2000 if I were you. Good ones can be had for very little more.
