Wanted Mrs thestag is being indecisive

[richardthestag]

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

[bramz7]

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.

Skoda Felicia diesel, but the deal would have to include a Stag brake drum to prize it away from me!

[purplebargeken]

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.

That's not like you.

I am such a useless cretin sometimes.

 

yes I have stag drums, 3 of the buggers. One has your name written on it

 

 

in other news she is even being fussy about a wbod. she doesnt get this I dont think. found a few locals at me

 

corsas and ka etc

[hairnet]

doesnt matter what it looks like for wbod surely

 

just buy 750il and bankrupt wallet so she gets it

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

I am struggling to get her to do anything the word crap didn't endear it to her

[LessThanEqual]

You can get a Proton on a 12 plate for £1000.

Bus pass!

I am perhaps being harsh on it, I did start a thread on it on here.

 

It needs a little fettling but compared to my V70 it's crap
