No time - No More Money To Waste...
« on: 20 February 2013, 21:22 »
Right, after the problems and money and third degree lectures iv heard from ma parents and my older brother. Iv parked the car up ...... now im driving my fathers spare car. Which hopefully wont stress me the way the golf has.

How much will i make if i strip it to its bal*s and sell the parts. It passed mot around a month ago, or i could get rid as a whole. im an honest lad who dosent want to get cursed by someone who buys the car thinking its running spot on. I bought it in march 2011 when i was 18 and i been driving it since. Its hard for me to say this but i think i will have to part from my car. Otherwise its going to be parked up in my garden for another 10 months or so.

My main plan of buying it was to keep it for a couple of years, but it looks like the trip abroad for a few months has cost me more than i imagined, i came back to my car thinking it would be alright, but nop. I dont have no more money and time to throw on it.

Appreciate if you lads can help give me a price range for breaking ?

Cheers

Stop being a tit and just sort it out. If my parents gave me lectures on my car I'd tell them to do one.

What is your car doing?, what parts have you replaced so far?,

I had some running issues with mine, took me a good few months to put right, and it's fixed now.

And your right, some mechanics from dews are cowboys.

Who do you take your car to btw?, I'm sure it'll be an easy fix.

Lost count of the amount of cars i've seen where the owner is happy to throw money at 'bling' but can't or won't take care of the basics...

What ever the wheels are then about £400

I would sell it as a whole mate.
