Ok, atm my cossies up for sale coz I can't afford to run it (got a bit giddy with credit cards/loads etc )...BUT I can afford to buy a second car (my mate got a MINT RS2k Mk6 I looking at having )....SO do I take the cossie off road for 6 month while I sort myself out, and drive the new car, or do I just sell the cossie...drive the new car for 12 month and get an esccos???


What would you guys do in this situation?? Coz Im totally stuck...i luv my cossie to bits...but is there any point parking it up for 6 months, esp throughout winter, coz its gonna be outside all that time??

Cola

Esssscossssss!

But that said I am a big fan of putting my escos away when I can't afford to run him. I've had hime for fove years and have lost MANY a job in that time

Whatever makes you happy girl

RSKim

See I know if I get an esccos, it will be used as a daily car....even throughout winter co I can't afford to run 2.....how many people actually use them as a daily car....

Nicole

You know what i think already PMSL!!!!!!!

Sell your cossie, buy a non turbo'd car, as you cannot be trusted in anything with a trubo!!! PMSL Sort your finances out and save up for an escort cossie!!!!

I know you don't like anything other than cossies hun, but i had to do it for the same reasons as you hun and i never thought i would like my fiesta, but it's properly cool hun, as you know i have loads of fun in it. It will never be a cossie but it's a compromise in the mean time hun

It's your decision hun

Katie

I'd say probably sell the car now, if it sells for what you want for it, and get an RS2K....if not, then store it. Then you don't have to make a decision, if nobody buys at the price you want, you keep
RS2Ks are gorgeous though, buy one anyway

RSKim

pmsl..ye I know your thoughts babes

I just dont wana sell her then regret it she looks MINt atm....

Ive maybe got the chance of an RS2k for Ł1500...its got over 100 thousand on it but it looks and runs like new.....think i may just buy it and drive it for a few weeks before i let the cossie go make sure i like it

I dunno i sooo dont want to drop down from a cossie, but think its a must....

RSKim

pmsl.....you actually got a point there

Nicole

I think you know what you've got to do but i know it's hard cutting your losses and actually doing it. But you know deep down whats best for you hun It's just actually doing it that you seem to struggle with lol

Can you not borrow the rs2k for a day to see if you like it?

Katie

let other people take the strain hun....you're not selling, they are buying, if they don't buy, it doesn't go anywhere

How many miles do you do?

Do you really find running your cossie *that* expensive?

Driven sensibley i dont consider them a car thats all that dear to run in the grand scheme of things.

Ps

If you definately want an escos later on anyway, sell the cossie now if you get a decent price for it.

RSKim

pmsl.....Tell me about it....i hate making decisions...if someone actually put money in front of me...i reckon id let her go tbh

Ye he said I can have it for a week if I like.... hes a close friend

nice Escort RS Turbo all the way

RSKim

lol @ Katie


Chip hun I don't drive sensibly.... plus I aint on a brill wage at work, and I pay out Ł150 just on insurance every month, then i got a loan which i used to buy my first car and just kept adding on top so straight off insurance and loan thats Ł300

then a load of other bits including a phonebill of Ł100 every month pmsl i do need to get that down

How many miles erm......well she does about 50 mile to a tenner and i put around Ł50 a week petrol in her

Nicole

WESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't put ideas in her head!!!!!!!!! LOL

Kim, try the RS2K out hun it won't do any harm. But try to remember it's not a cossie and it won't drive or feel like a cossie. If you get in it and expect it to feel like something it's not then you won't like it from day one hun

RSKim

Na Westy i HATE the way they drive

the rs2k is soo smooth proper nice to drive......actually anyone got one?? what they like when you lower em and wack 17s on pmsl

Westy

iTrader: (1)

you saying that you hate the fact the once you put your foot down the front goes all over the place with torque steer

I also hate the way they drive

RSKim

Nic hun I drove it round the block the other night, its proper smooth really nice, but it didnt feel fast....god you know what im like with my need for speed

Anonymous

Kim, based on that lot, the decision looks like a pretty simple one!

Sell the cossie, clear your current loan.
Get a cheap BORING runaround so you arent wasting moeny hammering around when you dont need to be
Save some cash towards the escos
Take out another loan later on to fund the rest of the escos (or better still wait longer till you can afford to buy outright if you are patient enough)

RSKim

they have no power steering

Cola

You bloody cow I'd LOVE to have that kind of efficiency lol.

I used to have an RS2000 mV (bonnet bulge model) and it rocked. Would def have kept him as a second car if I could afford to. Saw him in the back of Per Ford the other day and I was semi tempted lol.

A good little car, very economical, never broke, sat on 17s well (just don't lower it too much!!!) and good top end. So much cheaper to run it was untrue.

As I say I'm a big fan of storing the cos but you do need a garage for it... council? Ł35 quid a month?

RSKim

You know what I know you are TOTALLY right Chip.......but my poor cossie


Ill keep her up for sale then


Well just been confirmed my mates DEFO selling his RS2k for Ł1500 so off kim goes for another loan

Nicole

Yeah Kim, that's why i said it will NEVER be a cossie PMSL. I have driven sooo many RS's and they all feel diffrent. But like with my fiesta..it felt really slow when i first got it compared to the cossie. BUT when you learn how to drive them and get the best out of them, they are quite nippy...as you saw that night when you couldnt get away from me PMSL But it's the same with most cars. If you know how to drive them to their best ability then they feel alot faster

Anonymous

Kim, have you considered marrying Porkie?

That could solve all your problems in one go

RSKim

pmsl Cola hun if i put it in any of the garages round my way, it would disappear i have a garage but my dad has his bikes in there, i have tried to evict them with not much luck

Nic hun...ye I know.....i have a respect for my cossie, i dont go AS mental as I do in any other car....pmsl...ill kill myself in something else

Aw well...looks like thats the decision made

RSKim

pmsl......you got a point there Chip.....pmsl... although I have always sworn I wouldnt get married, supose i could go back on my word though

Katie

I think I've solved your problems

and at only 99p...can you afford not to buy it

If you need my opinion of what you look like in any of the underwear you plan to wear to seduce him with in the first place, im available at only 50 pounds per hour to give my honest view on the subject, but as its you i would reduce that to just 40+vat per hour.

Nicole

PMSL @ Chip!!!!!!!! You never miss an oppourtunity do you ? lol

Anonymous

Nicole, im genuinely offended that you saw my offer to sit and knock one out whilst looking at Kim in lingerie at the rate of 40 quid an hour plus vat for my time as somehow a selfish act on my part.
I was purely trying to help out a friend in need, and this is the thanks i get

I wasnt even going to put in an expense claim against her for the kleenex!

RSKim

pmsl @ Katie thanks hunni


Chip thanks for the offer, but there are a few perverts out there that would do it for free....Id rather use one of them than take advantage of you SERIOUSLy genuine offer hunni

Anonymous

LOL, yeah but its the QUALITY of pervert that you are getting when its free that you need to consider, there are loads of people out there who would fiddle around with your fuelling for little or no money, but you would still be better off paying for a professional like Stu to do it.

RSKim

pmsl.....yes but for a girl like me with soo many money problems/debts sometimes you have to settle for second best

Anonymous

Sorry Kim, i know you are trying to guilt-trip me into kocking one off over you for free, but you're busting my balls here already, 40 really is as low as i can go

RSKim

Damn







aw well Ill have to stick to the little cheapo pervs that do it for free im afraid
