Long story short, I ended up selling the best car ive ever owned tonight despite not really wanting to.
It was a Mk3 Golf Tdi estate. Not the most exciting car ever but im a VW fan and loved the practicality and economy.
The car I lined up to replacement ended up being a lemon so pulled out of the deal.
Am now carless...
Ideally id like a cheap hack to last a year or two (think, £800?) but could probably go up to £1500 (£2k max) if the right one came along.
Loved having an estate but could get by with something smaller.
Being a VW fan my line up of compulsive buys currently reads like this:
Polo (9N, 1.4 16V)
Passat B3/B4 estate
Passat B5
Golf Mk2 Mk3 Mk4 (estate or hatch)
Scirocco Mk2 (check this beauty: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-C-Volkswagen-Scirocco-GT-Scirocco-GT-PETROL-MANUAL-/290618966861?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43aa3d834d#ht_1901wt_1270)
T25
Bora
Vento
but im willing to consider just about anything else, as long as you can provide valid reasons why I should go for it.
Boxy = good
reliable/economical = good
Should I go for something weird and wonderfull, sporty, sensible, all of the above?!
Im a fan of anything retro.
I also can appreciate modern(ish)
