Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 February, 2015 Share Posted 13 February, 2015 Obviously I won't be posting in the perverts area known as motoring as I value KRG's opinion and I know he is put off by the page 3 pics and won't post there. Anyway, I want to buy/lease/hire purchase a car and need your help. LIBERTIES! you might be thinking, you don't see me for ages then here I come randomly asking for car information. Don't take it personally, I do that with my real friends as well. Anyway, here is the brief: I need a car that is big enough for 2 Labradors, a baby plus assorted baby crap like buggies and stuff. I refuse to drive a people carrier as I am still under 40. I can pay about £250 - £300 per month on finance either personal or through my business. The best option I can find is the new Nissan Xtrail but I am not sure about getting a new car as I have to cough up £6K up front and then it loses loads of money in the first couple of years. Other options are to get something that is a year or two, I like the Qashqai plus 2 but it might be a bit small? Any other ideas either on the car or how I should buy or finance it appreciated. If you don't know or car about cars or what I get, just post pics of tits to keep this thread nice and manly to keep Lou happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 13 February, 2015 Share Posted 13 February, 2015 hi tokyos no-one gives a fuck about what dumb car you get How Come all cars seem to have Tinted Windows nowadays?

Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 13 February, 2015 FFS bear, I have posted 3 insults back to you now and every time wankatalk just says message failed, contact the administrator. Is that Baj or Steve Grant? I am going to write a strongly worded letter about how I am forced to use a laptop to insult you as phones seem to be blocked. Anyway 1) yes, it is linked to the boom in car sex from that film about car sex with dead people and Collymore's promotional stuff (He's big in the Midlands I believe, I am sure you can confirm how big). 2) are you hating on car buying thread cause you a, love the motoring forum and all it stands for or 2, are still too poor to buy pack hot-chocolate and are tempted by golfing phil's offer to wank off camels in the desert?

Bearsy Posted 13 February, 2015 Share Posted 13 February, 2015 I had a Car that Was A Jaguar But not a v.good one, it was one of the X-Type ones it was a old man car my Dad give it me. Anyway it was getting old and Nuisance and one time it broke down and I got my mate to pick me up, and I just left it where it was and went and bought a New Car (I got a Ford Car from a Ford Garage it has 4 Wheels + Engine). Anyway, I am not v.good at bothering to sort out some things like sorting out what to do with cars that are parked broken down on Random housing estates, but I happened to be passing some weeks later and found that someone had put a sign saying "Police Aware" in the window of my old Jaguar car I thought this was a bit odd, so as soon as I could be bothered, like a week or so later, I went back with my Mate to tow it to Car Crematorium, but, mysteriously, it had completely Disappeared! I don't know how to explain this! Unless car thief was also Mechanic But since this time I have been getting Official Looking letters in the Post that are Possibly Related, but I don't read them, I just throw them in Bin Hope This Helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 13 February, 2015 Yeah I was discussing that car with a mate last night. They are decent but I think I am part of the lost generation for Skoda. Younger people don't know any different and were not scarred by Jasper Carrot and older just don't care. I was given a lift in one last week and the guy driving kept going on about how it was car of the year and stuff. He seemed like he needed to justify it. I was almost like "don't worry mate, I know. It's been a long time, all that is behind them now... all water under the bridge". It was like introducing my then Japanese girlfriend to my grandparents again. It's a nice car, I am just not sure I could go through all that ever time I gave someone a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, did he says about it being built by VW etc? I bought an X1, but it's too small. Quashqai will be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 13 February, 2015 Yeah, he worked for VW, Seat, Skoda and it was the latest car his company gave him.

Do you drive to work? Disagree. For example the Qashqai Ive got was £23,600 new. Three year rental is £9,450 . If you buy it new you have to stump up the money for financing and there is no way you will be able to sell a three year Quashqai for only £9450 less than you paid for it.

Lighthouse Posted 13 February, 2015 Share Posted 13 February, 2015 FWIW I bought a 2 year old Lotus for 2/3 the price of a brand new car in that spec. 14,000 on the clock. Still had a year's warranty (which is always handy when you've got a car built buy Lotus). I doubt I'd ever buy a brand new car unless my first name was Sheikh.

do i not like fizzy pop Posted 14 February, 2015 Share Posted 14 February, 2015 Tokes, seriously recommend Volvo XC60. Had one last year for 6 months. Practicallity with two nippers was unbeatable, D4 was a decent drive, got 900 miles out of a tank of diesel (using e-drive) though usually managed at least 750. Loads of kit on the SE and deals around £220 a month on lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 20 February, 2015 Share Posted 20 February, 2015 I saw a Mitsubishi Outlander demonstartor plug in hybrid priced at £28K today. Quite interesting I thought. £5K contribution towards a plug in hybrid from government. I have an aging BMW 3 touring that I can't praise enough, but now it's going to be run into the ground as a dog car and when I find an interesting small plug-in hybrid with rapid charging then I shall buy that as my everyday car as most days I could easily just use plug in power. I'm certain that a small turbo petrol and plug in electric hybrid is the way to go, but not many out there yet. If you feel the way I do then you could buy a second hand quality estate for a couple of years and then change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 20 February, 2015 That's what I've done Cam, I have moved away from my Ford Mondeo boring family car and splashed out on a new Ford Mondeo family car, this time the estate model. To be fair, it is by far the best deal I saw. The car is a year and a half old, 20K miles on it, top spec titanium X business edition bought new for just under £30K and I got it for £13K. It got decent reviews everywhere I looked and most other places were selling similar cars for £17K.
