View Full Version : thinking of buying winter runabout
my mint willy 3 is currently in my mums garage after i gave it a full valet and tbh im reluctant to bring it back out until the winter is over. seriously thinking about buying a cheap runabout to save the willy from the winter salt etc. my mates got a polo k reg low miles for sale should do the business. 8)
Sack that idea straight away!!!
Get yourself either a Valver :) or a Mk2 Gti 16v :D
Easily pick one up for a grand, just over. Both good cars, both have good resale prospects come the spring. I reckon you probably wouldnt loose a penny on either of them....assuming you paid the right price on day one.
IMO of course! :P
Best of luck.

Might aswell get a Clio RT instead of a Mk2 GTi 16v they're loads quicker :lol:

Matt
Off a Cliff for sure!! :D
Polo will love the winter
Defo nothing french .....they hate the winter lol
or u cd go 4 an RSI....u can pick them up dirt cheep! av a luk on ebay theres usualy a few goin on there!
good idea mate mines tucked away for the winter
what about some shitty diesel save some pennys
306 diesel turbo are nice cars
i aint got the choice now! i gotta get a winter run about! :lol:
I've just bought a R plate Astra 1.6 16v, 66k FSH for £1100. Ideal for winter run around and using back and forth to work to keep the miles off the williams.
Its nice to have a car you can park anywhere and not worry about. Williams will be used for weekends and special occasions from now on in.
u guys have too much money :cry:

LOL
Astra costs £500 fully comp insured with no no claims (no claims used on williams) but I think i'll prob save that in petrol alone not using the williams. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking there though but least the miles will be kept off my pride and joy :D
i have no choice but to ride the valver thru the winter.
Costing me nearly 300quid a month as it is ler alone another car ontop of that
ye mines costin me around £300 a month n thats wivout petrol! :shock: but still im thinkin about getin another car 4 a run around like....keep the miles down on the willy and as big hp sez will b nice 2 park it ne where n not av 2 worry about it!
Probably rust more being sat than being run around in salt but being washed regularly.
Cars don't like standing.

Shitty diesel in the same sentence as 306? I may be offended once I finally get my shitty winter run about. :P

I have been quoted by adrian flux £988 TPFT on my own insurance, thats at 19 years old, 2 years NCB, and full pass plyus licence on a Williams 1 :) Well happy with that, but could get fully comp for £1600 on elephant :D We will wait and see but will probably go for the TPFT quote as since I am a student, I cant really afford the extra, will be struggling to afford running it once I pick it up :(
But I will :D
id go FC if i was u m8.....sum ****a might drive in2 u then drive of or sumthin! then ur ****d!
