Someone Please Help Me - Car Choice
I have been thinking about selling my saxo for a while, but then i always fall back in love with it.
Basically should i swap mine for this and cash my way.
It has 74k miles on it and is meant to be mint!
This is mine but with VTS wheels now.
Mine is 52reg with 46k on it.
I really dont know what to do anymore

106 looks nice but Age + miles
Id be keeping the S unless he offers 1.5k and his car
Yeh its a rallye but come on its just another 106 lol cant be that much better then a GTI/VTS if at all imo youd be mad to swap unless its 1.5k over, tis a nice car but so is the newer (alot) lower milleage almost same car,,..

thats what i thought, is it too new a car to rag round track next year?
Bonus of getting older car - not arsed about raggign it/ writing off.
Bonus of current car - all parts are newer and i know all of its history.
Looking at mine with white wheels it looks pure sex imo

Your VTS looks sweet mate probably more reliable than the Pug aswell depends though if you want a reliable car or one to rag round?

£400 isn't enough imo for yours, should be looking for about £600+
Thats my opinion. Personally i'd keep the sax

i love rallye's too always have, there all way over priced though.
I love the rare factor of it all.
Think my hearts saying keep the VTS, get it back to show room condition, stick to plan one paint underneath etc.
But part of me is saying theres cash there.
But you cant go faster and have a minter for less then £2800.........
Selling the reg for £450ish so suppose can pocket the money from that.
The rallyes arent better on fuel either.
I also prefer driving an 8v compared to 16v.

rallye's only 412 left uk ones iirc.
just as quick as a VTS on the road till top end.....
Think i really need to decide.
I already know what am doing to the VTS if it stays.

Oh, saying that, keep the vts, for sure. Much rather have something newer and lower mileage, than a classic that your scared of thrashing.
