GD...sometimes a man has to except compromise.... red leather/blue leather/black leather......when you in a position to purchase a brand new car from a dealer you can have that luxury hence paying the penalty in depreciation when you sell..however...when looking for a second hand 10 year old sports car...provenance must take priority. Come and have a look, its only 160 miles ! I make good coffee. When I found this one, I started in ROTHERHAM and worked my way south.

Hi Spike, in discussions with my lovely wife to be the plan of action is.

Wait till May 8th (EVO Triangle North Wales Meet) then sell the GTA Privately.
My dad is having a new car delivered this month so I'm going to butter him up to give me his old car (R reg Rover 420 GSi that he has had since new) to run around in whilst I find my perfect Maserati.

I dont want to dick anybody about so thats the plan and I'm not going to torture myself looking at cars in the meantime.

Sean

Wise move.... I started looking last month and have gone crazy... my budget had now gone out of window and i still need a car to commute 40 mile round trip every day, 52 weeks a year.

I'm thinking i'll stick with the rover for a while, looked at the price of fuel I've spent over 20,000 miles it's cost £7,500

We ahve that new money manager thing on our lloyds internet banking and it shows between me and other half we're spending £600 a month on fuel

 

[philw696]

I have stopped looking at how much i spend on fuel for that very reason.

Yeah but Andy, the M5 drank Petrol, I bet the GTV sips petrol compared to the M5.

 

[Andyk]

[dem maser]

Mine was almost the same as my 3200.....being an auto its slightly drinks more but with a manual id say its the same

 

[GransportFan1]

[BennyD]

I dream of 24mpg! Today, overall, I got about 12.5.
