[Shant Ole]

I know im a pro at it

 

[Joe 1968]

Yes .. your post count shows that already

 

[Shant Ole]

And im still using 40% of my potential

 

[Joe 1968]

The Abarth is awesome Im taking it to upgrade the engine in a couple of weeks hopefully

I know how Emma is feeling right now. I remember when i got my license a few years ago I used to go everywhere for no reason just to drive the car

 

[Joe 1968]

thats what she is doing now ... She passed her test in January .. and we had the car before then .. but the cost of insurance is crazy , so she had to wait a while .. In fact its been a right pain .. she almost bought a Fiat 500 last week ... and traded the Peugeot in .. but the Salesman had an argument with Emma ... So I told him what I thought and he lost the sale ...

So you going for another 500 then?

They are awesome little cars

 

[Joe 1968]

Well the one she wanted was great ... however at the dealers they are very overpriced .. £2,500 over priced actually ... it was a 61 plate and only done 7,000 miles , which is nothing

the plan is now that she will drive the Peugeot for 12 months and save up in the mean time, we have worked out she can save 5-6k in 12 months ..

 

[Shant Ole]

Thats very good. And when the time comes for her to buy the car have a look at autotrader. Youll find cheaper ones in there im sure

Driving the Peugeot for a year would give her experience too so she will be more ready and careful with the 500 when she gets it

 

[Joe 1968]

Correct .. the dealer wanted 8,900 for a car with same mileage on Auto Trader for 6, 200 .. so big difference ...

For Emma its about the colour .. she wanted Grey ... but not metalic ....

 

[Shant Ole]

I hope she gets it in the colour she wants

I wanted the Abarth in red and ended up getting a black one

 

[Joe 1968]

I like the black .. it looks cool ... and prefer it tbh ...

 

[Shant Ole]

Its started growing on me too I love the car though. Its so brilliant I cant wait to make it the way i want but it will take some time as i need to save some money first I have already done a lot on it so the only thing thats left now are 2-3 things which are quite expensive but i hope ill be able to do them sometime in the future

 

[Joe 1968]

Just dont do too much and spoil it ...

 

[Shant Ole]

Nahh dont worry The thing is that i like my cars to be perfect. Shining from the top to bottom And since i couldnt afford to buy a new one and bought this one second hand, i want to make it shine again from every angle

 

[Joe 1968]

To be honest ... there is not difference in used or new apart from the price ..
