My first car

SaBBz · 24 Feb 2008 at 21:16

Well, after using my girlfriend's 306 d turbo for a couple of years during uni I now have enough money to run my own car. I wanted something fairly big, fairly quick, cheap and with pretty good economy. I think this car fits the bill very well. It cost me £800. Apologies for the poor pictures, I'd just washed the car and had to go out. The mats came with the car btw

What horrendous upholstery! Ideal runabout, good purchase.

That's the reflection of the St. George's magic tree that was in there when I bought the car

It looks slightly better in real life as it's a bit more blue, but I agree it's pretty horrible!

Not a bad buy for £800 to be honest, nice car m8.

Ev0 · 24 Feb 2008 at 21:34

A friend has one the same as that, nice cars for the money

Welcome to the club

Have to agree about the upholstery though. However, some people have changed it:

Only cost £200 apparently! I'm thinking about doing this when i have the cash - think it makes the interior look a lot better. Oh and get some of the limited edition alloys

I bought it to be cheap runabout/mile muncher so I won't be bothering with anything like that I don't think as it would be a waste of money for me

Like it Rick

Not a patch on my old Nova though

haha

Nice

But burn the mats, then burn the ashes of the mats, just incase. :eek:

Is that gaffa tape or a union jack on the dash?

Ricochet J · 25 Feb 2008 at 11:34

Nice car! I'm looking into my first car so i'll think about this!

And also, bloody hell mate, where do you live? Looks like America!

gareth.e · 25 Feb 2008 at 12:01

Nice, got an Elise or something tucked in the garage?

panthro · 25 Feb 2008 at 12:05

Those mats are wicked mate! Good price for a good car

Shimmy · 25 Feb 2008 at 12:14

Nice, I like and want. But probably is beyond my reach for a couple years I think due to age.

Psycrow · 25 Feb 2008 at 13:27

Seat upholstry belongs ...........actually nowhere, its horrid
