Selling my car :(

Well it's finally done... the CC is up for sale.

Thought I'd start a new thread in here for the "don't do it", "don't be stupid" and "why" replies so as not to clog up my for sale message.

Why????????

MattB · Post by **MattB** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:18 pm

Basically err.. money!

All is peachy is I'm currently renting, but need to get a house at some point and I'm not going to afford it whilst I have the CC. I'm also young (well, under 25 which in the insurance company's eyes is young!) and doing a lot of miles so my insurance is very high and the CC is hardly good on fuel efficiency. I've also just got 3 points on my license which doesn't help!

Think of getting a late W or X reg 306 HDi and doing some mods to the engine (should be able to get 120BHP without too much effort) as it's group 5 insurance with 55-60MPG.

I reckon I'll be 500-600 quid better off a month... which is significant!

Dont forget there are 306 convertables, might be worth thinking about

Same insurance/fuel problems with the 306 cabrios... Too much!

Need to cut down spending for 6-12 months or so... who knows, in 12 months time I may be driving a 307CC!

Muwah-ha-ha-ha....another convertee to the "dark side" of non-CC ownership....
Who does that make now?

don't do it

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh OK, I'm joking. I know what you mean. I had a megane coupe 1.6 8v and it was cheaper to insure than the beaten up old 1.4 orion i had before - the megane's group 6. So it was a shock to double my insurance premium when I got the CC!

No problems, I'll get a omd to remove the post as long as you don't mind.

I'll still be knocking around here - and besides, the car isn't sold yet so I'll be driving it until it is!!
