trigger Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Which why I've just enquired about a Marina 1.8 Coupe that a widow is trying to dispose off... Anyway I've just spoke to the Audi buyer, it's made it to Sterling without any drama so far!

Tayne Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 That's good that he made to a furniture shop in Tillicoutry but I'm surprised he thought to tell you that as a way point. I would have though the nearby town of Stirling would have been better. Essex V6, Jim Bergerac, Skizzer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I spoke to the buyer of the Audi today, he done 803 miles in it in the end and has already fitted a set of Speedlines and sports exhaust, thankfully he still loves it too! I said it was a good car for the money! Rusty_Rocket, Essex V6, worldofceri and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 thats a great ending and I don't just mean you not buying a Marina trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm already looking! Part of me quite fancies a nice Marina or Allegro (if there is such a thing) just to see what they are really like. Saying that i don't think my watch list could get much more random! Essex V6 and cort16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 That cortina looks nice but they drive the same as a mk3 so you'd have the same car in a slightly less stylish body.I'd have that xr6 if I was you but it'd be nearer to you if it was in belgium trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thats kinda what bothered me. I drove that green one on Saturday and it felt a bit too familiar, even a few friends have said I'd be silly to get another but the Mk5 seats does feel more comfortable than the Mk3 and i like the simplicity of a Cortina. The trouble is the cars I was buying for £2000 3 years ago are now over £5000 and in my view over priced. Traders are buying up all the cheaper cars and retailing them at prices which the average Joe can't afford or won't pay so they just sit on their forecourts.

Felly Magic Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Everyone is getting KGF itis when it comes to old car prices, stuff until recently you could get for peanuts are now £3k upwards. The bubble has to burst sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Skizzer was hinting about selling a car in another thread, maybe a certain Vauxhall he has would tickle your fancy ... Then Skizzer could buy that Gamma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I spoke to Martin about it a little while back but i don't really fancy it if I'm honest, if it was a 2300 GLS it might be a bit different though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
