Buying a car

"What I really need is something like an i30"

Or you know, the obvious option that would be even easier to sell....

Or the other obvious option if you prefer something a little more upmarket and also easy to source and sell....

They've had to postpone that episode.




Indefinitely.

Don't keep me in suspense!  What are these wonder-vehicles you speak of that can sate my automotive ambivalence ?

They've been mentioned plenty of times already, you see them everyday and they are pretty much the best selling cars in the UK.

83 posts since I looked this morning and still no car. Is it possible for the modmins to have a system that notifies us all by PM when Emp has bought one?

Does a mobility scooter count?

We can only do so much. 

Though we are considering a similar system for the classifieds where it takes about 3 months to get a post approved and we only allow it to continue if either the seller hasn’t decided if they really want to sell or if the buyer hasn’t decided either...

Don't worry, you won't miss it. It'll be an official Bank Holiday. There'll be commemorative mugs, tea towels, etc. The Royal Mint will issue a special coin.

I’m not arsed about what car Emp gets anymore; I’m only checking the updates to keep an eye Raymond’s meltdown.

18:55 - car dealers presumably closed for the day.  Still no word of a car!

Yeah.. but.. um... that was a meme about your meltdown..

Just buy a 2014 Kia Ceed in either petrol or diesel in "2" trim, and enjoy 2 years of warranty. 

Or get a 2012 VW Golf in "Match" trim. It'll probably lose less in the next 2 years but you won't get a warranty. That wouldn't bother me (we ran a Mk5 Golf to 80,000 miles/10 years old with no issues, gave it to a friend who needed a car 2 years ago, and it's still going well with no issues).

You know that's as insulting as saying "Just buy A fucking guitar" don't you ?

Ha, I have to confess that the frustration has turned into brilliant entertainment at the inept incompetence in carrying out one of life’s simple tasks at 55 years of age.  The longer he fails to get a car the more laughs I get.

Except you changed the criteria to “a temporary car” and “I must get any car”

memory problems again I see.  Honestly you have terrible memory.
