Ur probably looking at just over a grand. It's a nice car tho. Once u have spent money on it mate u may as well keep it. U will never see that money back. It's false economy imo

Sold my saxo, will be sad to see it go :( but it just became a money pit. Problem after problem. I replaced the rear axle, then a few days later the head gasket split and the radiator was leaking. I fixed that and now there's a leak coming from the gearbox. The car has become a curse. Can't wait to pick up my new car :D

Picking up my new car on Friday. A Ford Fiesta Zetec S :)

ooooh cant believe you sold the sax! so should of kept it once you had sorted it! that's the thing with old cars you cant expect nothing to go wrong with them..

But with amount of things that have gone wrong with it in such a sort period of time, its getting stupid now. Over the last two months its spent more time sitting on my drive then i have drove it with all the problems that have gone wrong with it and this is becoming a problem as i need it to get to work. Trust me i didn't want to sell it, but it's that bad there's a massive rust hole under the ECU, gearbox is leaking oil not to mention its a rust bucket now. I have a friend who strips down saxos and he said its one of the worst saxos he's come across with all the rust. My saxo was an 2003 model and only done 65,000 and no idea why it's that bad. Trust me i'm better off on getting a new car, with all the money i keep spending on the saxo.

Cheers will do, can't wait :p

My New car! I plan on doing some little modifications in a few months time, like smoked front and rear lights and powder coat my alloys black or white. Still deciding.

Last ever picture of my Saxo, returned back to original. Sad to see it go. I preferred it alot more when it was modified though.
