Default Might be getting a new car !!!!!

Might be getting a new car if the finance approves this week, i will be getting a more cost effective car the renault megane.

Its a 1.5litre turbo diesel brand new although its been pre registerd with the 55 plate its got just 24 miles on the clock.

It costs now just £667 a year to insure and £50 to tax and diesel is alot more fuel efficent and cost effective.



Now compair that to my old car!

My old car is a rover 827si a V6 engine with 2.7 liter sports injection (2,724cc) cost to tax was last year £175 as of this year £225 insurance stood me at over £2,150 per year on my fathers insurance, on my own 3rd party fire and theft £5,549 per year.

Why not get a Smart Car? Half a car, half the expense.

Never owned a car. Never needed a car. Never wanted a car. Never missed a car. Never liked to drive a car. My driving license is rotting somewhere in a hidden box.

Just imagine the tens of thousands of dollars it has saved me in the last twenty years!

Those Meganes are nice! I drove one while I was stationed in Italy. Very quick and sporty.

Great gas mileage too!
