Kia Magentis - Buy one get one free....

[retrogeezer]

Don't know if this has been picked up on yet, apparently the same deal was available on the Dodge Avenger a couple of weeks ago:

 

Should be able to get one in 3 years time for about a grand!

I don't know how they can get away with saying that, it's a 5% discount.

[retrogeezer]

I don't know, I guess the 'list' price is £15 odd grand so you are getting 2 for one but a bit daft when one car can be bought for 45% off.

[Mr Lobster]

TWO? I wouldn't want to be buying one of them, never mind two...

[pogweasel]

I bet they've got minicabbers battering down the doors. This was discussed recently betwixt myself, Mr Seth & Mr Torsten... just HOW cheap could you pick up a brand spanker at the moment... Good time to have some cash & a secure job (of which I have neither)

[Torsten2001]

Of course even with a secure job and cash (Idon't know anyone with either) why would you buy a piece of shit modern car when perfectly good cars can be picked up for what is in effect the price of a reasonable night out....or less! I have not actually driven my modern company car for days now because my autoshite collection is giving me reliable joy!

[pogweasel]

Well that is a very valid point. Horses for courses really. Though at this time of year the increased likelyhood of a fully operational heater, and a quiet relaxed drive home after a day mooching about some desolate, windswept shit-hole is much moar tempting!

[Father Ted]

I have to say - its getting to that point in the year now where my 40 mile commute isnt looking quite so rosy on the bike. Sure I can get to work in half the time it takes one of my girls, but i arrive sodden, frozen and developing piles.

I would even love a Rialto so long as it had radio 4 and a working heater.

Steady on, Ted. I think you need to go and have a lie down

i do think he needs to see a shrink radio 4 REALLY

[andrew e]

Its a good deal but hold out for the King of new shite - the Chevy Epica - front wheel drive with a straight 6 TRANSVERSE SON OF THE LAND CRAB

[Richard]

Is the Landcrab/Princess the only example up to now of a transverse straight 6?

[Milford Cubicle]

 

The 6-cylinder S80 makes the Epica the grandson of Landcrab

[Richard]

Apparently that has the world's smallest manual gearbox, just what you want on a straight 6

Quite.

We all know it's THE BBC HOME SERVICE, actually.....

It can't have. The one on my lawn tractor is smaller.
