#1: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 11:56 am ---- Right need a car now as been wrote off now so atm ive got 1600 for another car but want to stick with the 206, the only thing is ive been driving 5 months now and ive been looking but cant find anything worth getting any ideas ppl ??
#2: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:11 pm ---- Its about how much you want to spend on insurance really, I see your old car was a 1.6 so guessing you want the same size engine as before? higher? lower?
You can pick up some decent 206's for peanuts lately so id just keep looking on gumtree, pistonhead, autotrader, ebay and I'm sure there will be a car with your name on it.
I'd suggest a 180 but that all depends on your insurance, you can get a 180 for around your price range maybe a little higher, Its alot of car for the price IMO.

#3: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:13 pm ---- the same engine or lower if i went for a 180 probably be looking at nearly 2500 for insurance i would love 1
#4: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:38 pm ---- Try get yourself XSI or sport 1.6 or maybe get yourself diesel.
#5: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:46 pm ---- As above, I think with that budget you should be able to get an XSi which would probably be a worthwhile investment. Though how long are you wanting to stay with a 206? Could always get a cheap 206 runaround for <800 that would do the job if you want to save money to upgrade soon (for this price they may not be top notch condition mind!).
if its not sold already lol! free advertising being my old car
#6: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: ramigojag, Location: worcestershirePosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:22 pm ---- Id go for a diesel if i were you, get better mpg and more torque so its more fun to play with

Better mpg yes, but not more fun than a 180.

#21: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:32 am ---- I know you said you've already had an XS but I noticed this on ebay not so far. Could probably knock him down to 1k for it.
#22: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:34 am ---- i seen that yesterday looks really nice and looks like its been well looked after and from what i can see in the photos it looks like its got gti mirrors on it aswell and all i need to do is put my 180 alloys on it and my masked 1s and im done and ready for a meet up with you guys
#23: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:55 pm ---- How much do you guys think i should ask for it ??
#24: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:28 pm ---- Just make a stupid story up like your a poor student or dont have much cash and can only offer x amount then work from there! Youd think he advertised it a price atleast £100 or so above what he wants so maybe just offer 900 and work up from there
Add in the other rubbish like cash in hand blah blah and you never know what he might accept!
#25: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:32 pm ---- ive said my car got wrote off and and only got 880 so i said a grand and he said if i had 1250 it would come with 6 months tax and professionally valleted so what you think ?? i do like it alot what you think DJ
#26: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:37 pm ---- But in the add it says its got tax until 06/2012. Hes not even budging to less than 1200?!!!
Dont know mate, its up to you. If it was me going for it, I would still push for 1100 or less though
#27: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:49 pm ---- i do like it but tbh im waiting to hear what there doing to my xs. What is you car DJ ??
#28: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:51 pm ---- Mines the 1.4 16v SE Model. Sometimes I wish it was the 1.6 16v though

#30: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:01 pm ---- I get ya bud. Could always wait for something else to pop up soon if there's no rush Shame really as iv seen quite a few pugs go cheap but then look on ebay and Autotrader around the Wales area and there's less of a selection
#31: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:11 pm ---- i dont mind traveling for a car so if you can help me find any or no any then let me know DJ cheers mate o ps im not having your aunites lol
#32: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:25 pm ---- Ill point any others out I see then on my daily browse
Haha tbf she's asking for too much. If you would pay £600 for it, I would let her know as it would give me an excuse to explain to her that its all its worth in this age!
#33: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:30 pm ---- £600 for it you being for real its got full service history on it whats wrong with it ??
#34: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:32 pm ---- I believe it has part service history and now has been taxed. There aint nothing wrong but its just a bog standard 206 and on ebay they dont seem to sell for much!
EDIT: i dont know if she would accept £600, but she has a new car so she might want to get rid. I just want to tell her that its not worth 1100 without being rude
#35: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:35 pm ---- true mate well if i cant find any nice 1s then ill keep hers in mind mate £600 think is a good price but i really like that xs because i never seen 1 like that n i want it lol
But on the other hand if there's another 1 cheaper then u got to look
#36: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:37 pm ---- Yeh fair play dude. I cant see my aunts one shifting anytime soon so take your time haha! Yeh that xs seems pretty nice and with nimrods, colour coded and stuff already which is a bonus
#37: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:43 pm ---- on mine ive got 180 alloys and 180 gti interior so would look hot lol plus masked cristyaled lights 2 and loads of sp stuff aswell
#38: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:43 pm ---- I didnt realise! Would indeed if you transferred them over!
#39: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:52 pm ---- but if i put all that on would the 206 gain money on it or not ??
#40: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:04 pm ---- probably not.when u come to sell u can just sell the alloys and interior for atleast 500. spend about 100 on standard wheels and interior and u hve money bck in your pocket.
#41: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:47 am ---- right that xs as now been sold sad times and they have now wrote off my xs now question is i want it back but can i drive it back from the repair centre or do i have to get it here on a back of a pick up ??

#49: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 1:12 pm ---- I wouldnt. Higher probability it will need work come MOT time - could be reason why owner is selling it now. (Could always ask Garage if they will re-MOT it though before buying. If they say Yes then should be ok, if no, then probably has issues)
#50: Re: need a car but what shall i get ?? Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:39 am ---- dj is your auntie still selling it if so ask if she would take 600
