Good ridance!

how much you looking to spend on a 206? i thought you paid bugger all for the arosa as it was very high miles?
 
Have you thought about not having a car and using the bus or something? I mean I know a car is great to have but when your budget consistently buys complete disasters is there not a time when you need to think 'Perhaps we can only manage the one car'?

His wife does door to door courier service stuff though doesnt she? Then i am guessing he will need a car in order to work.

If the second car is avoidable then definately, the budgets that are always thrown around in these threads definately lend themselves to one slightly better car than two complete and utter knackers.
 
He has a Suzuki jeep for himself, whilst not the most practical, that's another car they own.

I'd say keep the megane and run it into the ground, so you can afford something better and nicer one it's dead.

Someone mentioned 205s not doing high mileage or fitting stuff in...how wrong you are. The diesels rack up the miles and keep on going with minimal maintenance, and you can fit a huge amount in the back of one if you drop the rear seats.
Although that's irrelevant as she doesn't want one, and to be honest, for a delivery car I wouldn't want to see a 205 pull up.

I had a mate who used to work on the 206 assembly line in Coventry. He said "he would never buy one......ever".

With that ringing endorsement I would steer clear of 206's period

We've got a top spend of £1800 which is from the sale of the car and me flogging off car parts that have been sat in the shed for a year(ish) so we're not digging into any savings.

The only bad buy/disaster motor has been the Arosa, the two 306 diesels before that were great until the kid broke the first one and some clown drove into the second. Before that was a diesel Astra which was brilliant, ran on 100% veg and saved us a fortune on fuel. It needed a replacement fuel pump and some head work but that was pot luck of buying the car.
 
Teach her to understand that she is the woman, you are the man, you know about cars, and she can't drive and make choices for ****, thus magane lessons ensue !

Tell her after a nice meal, flowers and a good humping ;)

I have told her that if she gets a 206 and it goes boobies upwards she has pretty much no say in what the next car is.

So the answer is simple - get another 306?
 
Just to close this chapter of automotive hell, this morning we got the "thankyou for telling us you've sold the car" letter from the DVLA.

Guessing the traders found it a bit harder to shift than they expected ;)
