Default Bought a new car!!!

Got a car allowence from work now as I opted out of the company car scheme tax raping bollocks so I purchased this!






18" rims










The only slight let down is this, but i'll be doing around 30k a year, but i believe is it possible to have it tuned to 130 I think. Maybe a job for Stu @ MSD seeing as he's only 10 mins away?????



Total spec car, only done 9k, heated and cooled seats etc, stero sounds pretty good as well!

Hope you like!

Yeah you press the "-" obviously and it lights blue (5 settings) and blows cool air on your back and arse cheeks. That will be getting used in SUMMER!

If we ever get 1!

Nice car, but with 30kpa I would have stuck in a company car.

Using the same model as the example (assuming it would be on the choice list), it would be taxed at 17% of about Ł20k list price = even at 40% tax that only works out around Ł113pm and would cover tax, insurance maintenance, tyres and any unexpected repairs.

That all depends on your income though aswell, and the list price is 22.5k, allowence of Ł400 pm, 0.17p per mile based upon 35k a year should return a profit of 5k after 3 years plus the value of the car!

Thats after, tax insurance, MOT when its due, tyres servicing etc.

Only paid Ł9.2k for it on and 04!
