gatesy0093 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 If I was you and was wanting a new car I'd have the caddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 There aren't many mk1 polos left, but there are loads of lupo gti's for sale, just do it. At least you k ow if you don't enjoy it you can sell on and easily buy another gti Plus when your old and grey it's another thing ticked off the list of things you needed to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoid Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Depends really, will this be your number one car?If so, then I'd say no, no back seats, no place for shopping to go etc, yes you have the back but you'd then need a cover because of englands piss poor weather performance, would be a hassel to me.And I think once I've gone for something fast I couldn't go back to something slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoid Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Your money at the end of the day, but I see no sense in having a fully working car, then getting another one and have two. Double mot, insurance, tax, upkeep etc.My friend always wanted two, bout 2 months later he realised his mistake and is poorer than a poor thing on a poor day now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of buying my lupo recovers itself over 8 months of not using the ST for work. Yes the Ford is THAT bad on fuel. In the context of this thread, i'd be keeping the GTi and look for a shed/project caddy you can keep off road and work on (or pay to have work done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyd Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I wouldnt be buying the caddy to insure as well as the lupo , id sorn one of them untill i wanted to drive it again i think ill wait for a cheapish one to come about as a project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyd Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Brought a1980 mk1 polo instead ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
