[Zak33]

Yeah.....you lot, behave....stop thread hijacking....

TiG ...you are a total VW group boy aintcha

SEAT, VW, AUDI, SKODA....I see a pattern emerging!

New Shape Vectra 2.2 LS 5dr 52 plate....less than £10 , some for £9ish

All alloy engine, chain driven, 147 bhp, 6 airbags, drives well, silly indicators and wipers. Loads of toys.

But get rid of it before its 3 years old incase it goes wrong out of warranty way too many computers in it.....bloody things

Seat Leon....my first call.

Audi A3..not A4 cos its prettier. A4 only if its Estate yumster

Mitsibishi Charisma......Toyota Avensis.......MAZDA 6 nice

Well did the Audi, VW and Seat dealerships in MK today.

I have to say they all come under the **** category, sure i may not look like i'm in the market for an audi at 24, but i've got the cash and have to say the A3 looks tonnes better than the a4's that i looked at today.

VW golf was better than i expected, tho i found myself looking at the Bora !?!? as i seemed to like the look at that a bit better, plus it seemed to be a lot cheaper compared to the golf, is there something wrong with it - end of line etc?.

The seats dealership however came up trumps as the worst possible dealership i've ever been in, had a selection of 6! just 6 used seat cars. LIKE WTF. And they couldn't show me the cupra 1.8 as it was out on demo, after waiting 30mins for him to come back i got pissed off and left.

Zak - think i need help !

How about a brand new Focus Zetec for £12,000??

...Or you could get a used Focus ST170 for around the maximum price mark you are talking about.

too true!

[TiG]

thanks for the help, BUT I HATE FORDS, they all look the same. I want something a little bit distinctive, which is why i've got a problem with the golf, there are too many of those too

Help available....I've PMd you my mobile number!

We'll sort it

[TiG]

Mazda 323 - HATCHBACK 2.0 Sport 5dr - Not sure why this is here, it looks alright even if it seems to lack a bit of power...

MG ZS180 saloon - Worried by MG's reliability but it does meet the power criteria and appears to be fairly cheap...

Volkswagen Bora 1.8 T Sport (150 BHP) - Why is it the bora is bigger yet cheaper than the Golf??????.

Volkswagen Golf 1.8 T GTI 5-Dr - Expensive as hell, needs to be nearly 3yrs old or have 30K miles+ on it to bring into my price range....

STILO 1.8 16V Dynamic 5dr, Petrol - VERY cheap,
Example

Ford Focus St170
8000 mile, less than 1 yr old for £12400. meets price range and performance criteria but i don't really want a ford....

Vauxhall AStra 2.2 16v
On here to make Zak happy but not really that keen on them, But again fits the price bracket...

Skoda Octavia vRS
Doesn't look quite so certain that i'll get this and even less certain of the 4x4. Still need to test drive it tho....

I'd like to find a price for the Toyota 1.8T sport but no-one seems to have a second hand one for sale.....

Thanks
TiG

p.s - rung you a few minutes ago, just got answer phone

Agree with Shad on this one, go for the Alfa 147 T-spark... they're just soooo nice... sophisticated yet not OTT.

If not go for an Audi A4 - again, sophisticated yet simple and beautiful cars to drive.
