[QUOTE="1sostatic, post: 339027, member: 6072"] Worried? So you want a car do you? :-/ … You ponder for a while wondering how you can talk yourself (and maybe the wife also) into making either a galactic mistake or take a golden opportunity. Either you decide on the tiresome activity of leafing your way through all the classified ads… or, like a penitent lamb to the slaughter, you take yourself off to your fav dealership and have someone, who’s only care in the world is volume sales, talk you into the next puerile, miserable Euro-box, or gargantuan pickup truck, the size of earth moving equipment with an interior made from used wheelie bins, or tiddly little rice burner. :chin: To add to your injuries in this process; the baggy suited, slimy guy whose name always seems to be “Bob” :s … hooks you in with what looks like a deal with his questionable negotiating skills[I], [/I]strengthened by the starting values artificially made by the Motor Corporations; he then beats you up on price, with the hidden costs, extras, service agreement, extended warranty etc. Taken it up the tailpipe yet? ::thumb:: You lay awake at night, mind consumed by every little detail hoping you’re not getting ripped. Part of your mind is agonizing over the options lists (if new) , if second hand , previous owners, servicing schedules, if anything has hurt the youthful little shit-box through its Lilliputian 2.5 years of life and 20k or so lightly tickled miles. WTF! :-/ Why worry? Try buying a 48 year old f**k-face :D and see how you fare. Knowing full well once you’ve made the commitment the “work” begins… New rack, shocks, exhausts, bushings, oil, oil filter, brakes etc. And if you really bought your time machine to really hump you in the ass…new fenders, floorpans, rear valence, fuel tank, trunk floor, trunk lid, suspension bosses, new chrome and hood. There are some compensations however, My Mustang 351C (5.8ltr), Zero tax (more than 30yrs old) £140 insurance, tyres £90 per corner. Against my Mercedes CLK350 – used to hammer me for £780 tax, £690 insurance and a full set of tyres £200 per corner. My XK8 £390 annual insurance, £720 tax and get this... £390 per corner for round black things. Just for fun, the CLK also stuck its hand right up me, ripped out my colon with 50% depreciation in the first year....Taken it up the tailpipe yet? ::thumb:: At least with a 48 yr old, you don’t have to carry an interface and a laptop to fix the car ….
