yeah tell me about it!!!

i owned an 08 plate clio 197 cup up until a month ago, and it had lost over a third of its original value in 8 months ... £15,000 from new and only got £9,500 for it. which isnt too bad, but not what i was hoping for.

now i only have £200 for a car ... aint good lol. but they are out there somewhere!!

£200 you should just keep using her motor until you get some money mate most motors for that price are gonna have probs or will already need loads of work doing. Welcome though  :cool:

Keep an eye out on mk2's. I picked up a high mileage gti on a H plate with 12 months test for 350.... you might get lucky in a local paper?
