A week with a Mito

[GransportFan1]

insurance for the panda, full comp on my dads policy with the co op just under 1k, i dont really know what alfa i would want, not anything too old and i dont really want a 147 1.6. I would like a 155 3.0 but wont get insured.

Insurance maybe the only fly in the ointment........how old ru???

belt failures?? never liked the dcar when i had it for 4 days...i had the turbo when you put it in D on dna mode it was quick but the car does not handle and a 500 does it better

17, what about an Alfa 145?

Get a 166, I had my 164 as a hooligan and it was cheap as chips to insure. Yoofs don't crash big cars because they don't buy them, thus insurance premiums are surprisingly low - I had an XJ6 as well - don't knock it until you've had lurid powerslides 5 up in walnut & leather luxury!!

You do need to go everywhere with 4 mates to afford the fuel though.....

( edited to say I did crash my 164 quite spectacularly, but it wasn't my fault.....!!!)

 

[dem maser]

theres a story there about the 164 paco do tell

 

[GransportFan1]

a 166 for my first car, what is the smallest engine available? 2.2? and besides, dont want a car that big, i aint taking people to the shops.

What about this, italian and cheap.

dont like them..my cousin had one in cyprus...not economical..not cheap to run..1.6 aint cheap... 1.0 aygo or punto for you this year...or seat arosa you will love them...or smart

 

[GransportFan1]

a smart for 2, dem, i am a man. I aint having a 1.0 Aygo dem, it aint much cheaper than the 1.4 Corsa, my mate has an Aygo and walking it quicker than that thing, it is a washing machine on wheels.

 

[dem maser]

fun though...smart roadster i was talking about they cheap

 

[GransportFan1]

nah wont be buying one of those unless it was a Brabus version.

 

[dem maser]

i like the standard one..i had one they alright...not a lot in it

 

[GransportFan1]

dont think i would get insured either dem, what group is it, if it is over 5 then i wouldn't get insured for a reasonable price.

 

[dem maser]

group 5 for the roadster

 

[GransportFan1]

might start looking then.

 

[dem maser]

i have a guy from the forum giving me his to sell for him as hes going awayfor good....he wants 4500 but it has leather heated and cruise control

 

[GransportFan1]

too much for me dem, 3K max.

 

[dem maser]

i see what is there....

 

[GransportFan1]

Panda's are cheapest at about 4K now, i reckon soon they will be near to 3K for a 56 plate.
