It was a genuine suggestion. It's the best delivery vehicle bar a moped.

You'd know.

Have you actually got an ITR now then? (Just seen your sig)

Muffin` · 24 Oct 2009 at 23:07

Soon(tm) Waiting on cheque to arrive, postal strike have been playing hell

InvaderGIR · 24 Oct 2009 at 23:07

\o/

I now officially hate and envy you.

Muffin` · 24 Oct 2009 at 23:09

I haven't got it yet, I was tempted to go TPFT but it would be asking for trouble. 2k FC

Even so...you can (cheque permitting) afford one...I can't even afford a £500 banger at the moment.

Really need to sort the 205 over xmas or something...little bit of student loan to finish it shouldn't hurt.

Muffin` · 24 Oct 2009 at 23:20

I can't think of anything posotive about peugeots anymore, sorry

Good luck

205 GTi is like the only one I like...even then is old and decrepid.

Still, it's less to fix it than it is to buy something else...and it should last longer than a car costing the same as to fix it...plus it's a fun car.

Anyway, way off topic.

Mega cheap? Just under £1k with a couple years NCB at 21 on a 2.5 V6 MG isn't mega cheap. :/

It was £600 :confused:

- how is that 'just under a grand?' and considering it was a £1200 reduction over last year - to me, that's pretty damn cheap.

If you are running a job delivering curry whilst you get together the cash to start a business can I be really boring and suggest running two cars is counter productive?

Dont pretty much every insurer exclude food delivery as an occupation to which they offer cover?

[TW]Fox · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:24

Yes, even if not specifically asking for business cover as soon as you say occupation fast food delivery they dont want to know.

iaind · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:26

Lets face it - how many delivery drivers are actually properly insured?

Cash in hand job, may as well drive as an additional driver on your parents policy - and set your occupation to "engineer" while you're at it - sorted.

Jez · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:27

This seems like a particularly bad idea to me. What does this offer above a completely no hassle shift job at a supermarket for example?

iaind · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:28

Free kebab at the end of the night?

Better interior than the ZS, but a 325i is a better bet than a 328i...also the BMW is rear happy and considering the way you've driven when I've been in the ZS, this is not a good thing...it may not be as rear happy as the Nissan, but it still is.

When I last heard you got it to about £900...which is, surprisingly enough, just under a grand.

loltim · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:55

Why is a 325i a better bet than a 328i? Won't it be slower than a ZS?

InvaderGIR · 25 Oct 2009 at 10:55

Same power as the 328i, less torque...but overall a better car...less electrical problems to go wrong, generally speaking they are cheaper to buy too, especially for a decent one.

The immobiliser system on the 328i means if you want to change engines (for whatever reason

) you need to change the ignition barrel, the ECU, etc.

loltim · 25 Oct 2009 at 11:04

I don't think a 325i or 328i would be a worthwhile upgrade, looking at performance specs the 325i is nearly identical to the MG.
