Kieron Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 You're doing well mate. Make the most of a commitment free life whilst you can. Try saving when you have a house, 2 cars, an 11 month old and a dog. Our monthly OUTGOINGS on bills is 2k!!! Living with Mum & Dad never looked so appealing eh?

cardaft Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) You have done well to get that much in just 6 weeks, wont be too long until you can afford a nice lupo/arosa here mate i was the same , my first car was a 1.1 pug 106 and i got slagged by one of the guys at school cause it was 6yrs old yet he was using mummys brand new daewoo matiz!!! mind you i had the last laugh when the hand brake cable on his car snapped and it ran into the back of his mates car put it this way mate , when you get the car you will respect it more than somebody who has just been handed a car that as well as you will be less likely to take risks in it incase you total it which would scrap your pride and joyWell i was promised a car for my 18th, but i wasnt waiting a year to drive, so i had the use of my sisters saxo for the first three months, but i had an AX which had been sat in the back garden for about 7 months so i put that on the road and used that until i got my Arosa in 2004. so i had a Jreg Ax 1.0 for my first car, it was a lot older than 6 year old!, and everything went wrong with it, needing two new engines!. I do well with engines dont I I had the AX on the road for about 3 months and it was going downhill with the gearbox being on the way out towards the end.I had seen a 18 month old arosa for sale but knew it was 6 months too early for my 18th, but i had a test drive anyway, it then it sold, so i was a bit gutted. However a few weeks later the same arosa arrived in the garage on (chr1stmas) - Too soon to talk about this time of year! morning, i was over the moon I think because it had been a present i was a lot more careful with it, it made me a better driver because i respected the car, so totally different to my old Citroen!I still love that little arosa which is why i still have it, its still in really good condition since its always looked after, probably a lot more than my TDi is Keep on with the saving, it will be more than worth it when your in your own pride and joy EDIT: why on earth wont it let me say chr1stmas!

Daz_Kez Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Still not decided yet on a lupo or arosa.... may need some help/advie with that problem... Edited November 17, 2007 by Daz_Kez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Still not decided yet on a lupo or arosa.... may need some help/advie with that problem...All down to taste really, if you like the look of the lupo over the arosa then buy a lupo, prefer an arosa buy an arosa. Simple *cough* arosas are better *cough* Edited November 17, 2007 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Kez Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 is not that simple, i like them both, but it depends which is better for the money when i come to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Arosas are better value and better equiped compared to the equvalent lupo.However the only thing i would say is the 1.4 Arosa S is an 8v so only has 60BHP, where as lupo 1.4 are 16v with 75bhp. You very rarely see a 1.4 Arosa manual though, they are usually autos since not many bothered to pay the extra for the 10BHp over the 1.0S. I never considered a 1.4 petrol so it wasnt an issue for me. But if your looking at a sport then the arosa is the better one IMO, better looks, all have side air bags (NO lupos have that!) later models have the loverly 15" sport wheels, also one group lower in insurance too. May i say the TDi is excellent, and insurance group 4 too 1.0s are perfect, especially for a first car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Kez Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 But I Usually see 1.4 sports for the same or less than a 1.0.....but if i got a good offer on a 1.0 i suppose i'd take it.....would prefer a red/white/yellow sport though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
