Post by: Mikester on 02 March 2008, 19:05: Nah, im gettin a job at a store further away, plus i spend all my wages down to the last pound each month. So its just not worth it. I earn less that you guys and have to pay far more to insure it. So its just not worth keeping to be honest. Will get another gti when im 21 :D

Title: Re: So the ripe old, how much is it worth thread!?
Post by: Mikester on 02 March 2008, 20:36: Its hard, becuase i want mod cons, air con, elec windows, abs, traction control, hence looking at new fiestas and mk4 TDI's Hmmmmm

I still gotta get this one through the MOT, exhaust, rear tyres, front brakes.

Might end up keeping it with all i have spent! Who knows.

Post by: Mikester on 02 March 2008, 22:42: Yeah, but im starting to go off it, its too big, its not a hot hatch that you can stick anywhere, and its just big. And im going of the look of it too. Im really not sure atm! hmmm.
