Didnt say he was as in its definate but it might be worth a PM just incase it would be considered.

For 3K id be tempted by this Lee http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...enaultsport-clio/renault-clio-182-cup/2008163

Im in the same boat as you mate as never wanted to sell but made sense when I have a wedding and want to get on the property ladder sooner rather than later. As Kev said I went the Leon Fr route and love it! Never the same as the Clio but it does everything we want. Lesley uses it all the time and I drive it 2/3 times a month so when I drive it I wanna have a play and it's more than capable of that! It's quicker day to day around town than the clio obviously which means plenty of power slides out of roundabouts lol

The big test was brands in December and she performed great. To and from brands and around it and it cost me £40 in diesel lol

 

[marshall]

I may have sorted a new motor....and luckily its not too boring!

 

[Robo_#1]

Wow, that looks in good nick Marshall. Most of the S3's I see around are f*cked. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun!

Unfortunately I think I might find myself in the same position as you very soon .

 

[marshall]

Yea, the lad that has had it is very perticular when it comes to his cars. In the past year its had all bushes, brakes, clutch, cambelt, tyres...you name it. Only selling as he's got an 07 plate one now.

It'll do for a bit, until i realise im being silly and just need a **** box run about lol. But i need to see what boost is all about

 

[Gez]

that looks mint! good find!

 

[Dmonk197]

nice car, hopefully all faults are sorted but how is that cheaper to run than the clio?

Nice, that's exactly the kind of guy you want to be buying cars from.

Yeah, I'm having difficulty coming to terms with that too haha. I love how you started this money saving thread listing a load of economical Derv's then in the end you bought an S3 lol.

 

[Goose]

One of my neighbours has that shape s3, he's running something like 480hp through it....definitely a fun car!

EDIT: still does more MPG than the Clio

What can i say, it was making me feel physically sick with the thought of getting rid of the clio for some crap diesel it really did. Its not a necessity, i havent lost my job, it will just help add another £4k in the bank by not paying £325 a month on the clio.

Atleast i'll enjoy this, hopefully. Knowing me i'll end up selling the S3 and getting more finance on a meg250!

 

[r&skxa]

How much out of interest?

Haha yeah, same here. The Mrs is doing silly mileage in it with her new job and we're saving for a deposit on a second place. So although we can keep the Clio, we could get the new place a lot quicker without it. I think if we had to sell it, it wouldn't be as tricky, but doing it by choice makes me feel ill. I'll no doubt buy something to keep me entertained and on track though

Deal to be made around £3750

You have done the right thing Lee, I sold the clio for a derv 11 months ago and now its really starting to grate on me :sad:
