An expensive few days!

[muz]

Wow man you have had some bad luck , hopefully thats the end tho cos like they say bad luck comes in threes .
And yeah them kinda things happen with cars and things going wrong , the only bad thing i am dreading when it comes to driving i guess
tho that is ouch £1300 for just a clutch , i wont even be spending that much on my first car lol

 

[Kage]

When one thing goes, expect more to follow. Thats what tends to happen...
Hopefully nothing more will go on you.

Haha, how about this..

Next week.. £800 for car, £800 for insurance, £300 sound system, £800 bodykit.

 

[Kage]

Your the one deciding to buy the last 2 things though, you could probably do without for the time being, hehe.
Just kidding with you. A nice sound system especially is enough.
I could probably do without the body kit though.

What car you getting?

It wasn't just the clutch muz, if it hadn't been for the flywheel it'd have cost around £820, they valued the Audi at £7000 [around £14000 new] so that's how come I made such a great deal for the 'A' class Merc, handing over only £500.
In case you're wondering, it's normal that you'd only get around half the value of a car in two years, in a part-exchange.

I had a 3 hit me as well. Transmission dies, $2150. Insurance comes due, $260. EGR Valve goes bad, $350.

I actually didn't mean to write bodykit, I meant to write alloys, I've been looking at bodykits all day though because I'm getting one for my mate, so that's probably the reasons.

It's a Zetec Sport, but with some nice 17" OZ alloys, black once, bloody wicked they are.

o right , 800 is prolly still more than i will be spending on my first car
And yeah thats why i am never buying a brand new car cos it looses so much value just by driving it off the forecourt much better off getting like a one previous owner 6-12month old car IMO if you want a new car , obviously my first one is gonna be a lot older than that.
Plus one rep, trying to make that last one into a true square!

Perhaps I should rename this thread "What's the most you've ever paid for repairs" other suggestions please. [I'm serious!]
