Just had a response from a car I enquired about in the loot.

Apparently, they are called Lisa Marshall, and they are a corporal who has been recently deployed abroad :/

I didnt realise the 419 scams had moved onto cars too

Thought it was too good to be true...wasting my feckin time

Oi oi oi

Had a nose around that new Tesla motors shop in Westfield.

Car is nice, if you can get down there I'd recommend you have a look.

It's also a lot cheaper than I thought. Starts at 50k, but you'll want to spend about 60k in total (options and that)

Sales geezer told me it was 450 bhp instant power as it's all electronic. If I was looking to spend 60k on a car I'd get one.

In the meantime I'll continue driving my Kia.

Even every list I've looked at the jap cars are literally filling up the top 10 lists based on reliability with some audis

Honda and kia seem the most reliable too

And tbh I'm guessing mechanics would have a better sourced opinion as they are the ones fixing them and couple even complained that Japanese car owners they know literally bring in minimal business

And because I wasn't looking to buy a car right now, was looking to wait another to years before getting an a5 or something similar

Just want a hatchback that will hold me on the motorway without outlying too much p, think I am done with used cars, 3/3 have ended up fucked now, it's bullshit

get a civic then

 

used cars just depend on how the previous owner(s) treated them tbh

 

you dont wanna outlay too much p but yet you want to buy brand new?

 

id get a nearly new car, german if you wanna grip the motorway properly

Nah should have expanded, not brand new, around the 60/61 mark

Was looking to get a polo /golf diesel at first but not sure atm now

I know but there's only so much you can check a car, some problems take months to find or appear, I know it's luck of the draw but it's just frustrating, been putting money away to save up to move out and I have to basically use that almost all that up now just to stay on road

Looking for a new car

 

Feel lost ATM

 

People/friends/work people/family etc have said go German but mechanics have told me go Japanese 

 

:bounce:

 

 

no one respects a person who drives japanese

 

i just look sheepishly and feel a bit sick for them

anyone know how militant police are about number plate fonts or changing spaces on numberplates

Traffic police can be a bit anal about it, they stopped me once back in the day when I was driving my un 'respected' Japanese racing car, they said if I don't sort out my plates and they stop me again they will somehow blacklist my car (as well as a fine) so that if I try selling it in the future it will be severely devalued or some shit
