richardthestag Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Mrs thestag is on the hunt for her nirvana! a cheap, low mileage, perfect hyundai i10. her budget means that she is looking at the CAT end of the market which is irritating the crap out of me. To buy us some time for the ongoing search who has anything not too grim, road legal, ideally 4 doors and not too far away from High Wycombeshite for sayle at the mo? spend needs to be a IRO £200 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Maybe. I've gone a bit impulsive and might have a tidy ZX diesel for sale. I'll post a thread later about it but it will be slightly more than £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Skoda Felicia diesel, but the deal would have to include a Stag brake drum to prize it away from me! richardthestag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Another year and she could have my i10. Mines a 61 plate and is only worth a couple of grand at the very, very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardthestag Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 updatez on the Mrs Thestag situashun she is driving me up the wall, official I explained that her 3k budget is over the top for a smoll car to run around town. especially when we are skint. with big bills on the horizon. Pointed out 3 local cars with MoT for under a monkey, she seems keen but then she points out an i10 in Slough for 3 bags yesterday she called and said that she had been thinking about what I said and that holidays do mean more to her than a car. Great I am thinking So she then tells me that her budget is now 2 and a half bags and she will look at cars up to 9 years old. she explained that they are a lot cheaper than 7 year old cars and also there are some low mileage cars available. arghhhhh I quickly found half a dozen examples of the low mileage example she was keen to look at with double the mileage and half the price. I think she is getting it but it is a slow and painful process. Loan car goes back on Tuesday and she is further away from buying a runaround than ever. I am home again tomorrow and will just buy her a local £200 runabout to stop her hiring a car at "only" £90 / week + CDW etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
