That's sad to hear, don't think I would be able to take a step down in power like that, unless like you said its costing to much

Out of curiosity why are they called limited edition as I see ALOT of them running about

I hope the wife looks after you well!!!!!!!!

Unlucky that you have to sell up! I could never do that, but then again i don't use my one much, so doesn't cost too much.

I agree with dcidobble thought, there are at least 19 in the small town im from..

Limited Corsas are around 14k iirc, so how will you save money??

3k Corsa yes, 14k, dont get it?

I feel bad when I hear stories like this, especially when the 'savings' wont really be that much in the long run - are there even any short term savings?

Hope you stick around though!

Fuel? Insurance? Tax?

 

[MikeDX]

Tax will save.. £100 a year? £150

Fuel will save... erm.. £500 a year? one tank a month less?

Insurance, cant comment.

I'm stubborn, I'll go hungry before I give mine up lol

In the long run you many save some money, but if you change your car often then it probably won't. I only drive a 1.6 Mazda 3 for a few hours yesterday and I couldn't wait to get back in a car with some power! My god it felt slow.

That's £600 before insurance lol! That's loads to consider. Plus, it's all about getting the monthly budgets down sometimes, instead of looking yearly.

An extra £50 a month makes all the difference

You are right of course.. but if it costs £3000 or more to change your car, where is the saving?

Eactly, if its cost to swap the car there is no saving

sorry forgot I posted this lol. basically my monthly payments will go from £314 to £235 and monthly petrol (superunleaded in the clio) from £150-180 to £70-90

Tax was due to renew in march £235 got a free years tax(£90) with deal.

lost my 2 years no claims about 4 months ago so that what kinda started the whole thing off. I would of been paying over £1k to reinsure the clio in may. A years insurance on the corsa is £650.

got the corsa on 0% finance if anyone wants details of the deal just ask.

I think the key part here is that we arent in a one size fits all society, and each persons situation is different.

I couldnt afford a 197 before I built up some no claims, so if i lost mine now I suspect I'd have to sell up too (and I was always concerned they were license losers!)

Best of luck to you though mate, seriously You should enjoy the new car for what it is!

yep its a real shame because im gonna miss it, losing the no claims tipped it into the mrs hands really I wasnt going to let it go but its not like I have a decent drive to work where i can really thrash it or make the most of it.

Hopefully in 3 years time when I have 3 yrs no claims I can pick up a old one

This is it one last 20mins drive to the garage going to hammer it for the last time!
