Title: Got a new job....
Post by: BOGGLE on 09 June 2005, 22:44
So..I got a new job the other day which means a bit more travelling.  I have this horrible feeling that my mk4 is just going to be too juicy and also that it will add too many miles to it :cry:.  I need help in deciding if i should sell her now, before she clocks up too many miles (on 61K at the mo) or do i keep it for a bit and sell her later.

The deal is if i do sell her i'll go to the car auctions and try to pick up a TDI and also buy a sports bike for the fun factor :evil:.  The only trouble is, my 1.8t is quite rare in that it's burnt orange with sunroof and climate.  It's also had quite a bit of doe spent on it so it will mean going t quite an average car (which i'll have to spend money on to get to my liking) :undecided:

I'm pulling my hair out just writing this (hope it's not too much waffle)

Get yourself a nice Polo Mk4 with a smallish engine, that's what I did.
£1000 for a 1.4, and even chugging round in London traffic it gives about 70 miles for £10 of juice.
It's nippy too, not quite as nippy as my old valver, but still decent.

I've decided to try my car for a bit and see how it goes, then i'll make a decision :cry:
