Think its about time to sell my baby, I have bought myself a fiat panda and loving that for the fuel and the laughs, but the 306 is costing me too much on fuel and I need another set of tyres which I only got a set about 4 months ago and its killing me, so my baby is sitting on the drive doing nothing :( just had all brand new performance brakes all round too and a full service and a magnex decat and I still cant drive it :(
It's hard trying to run a car like that at 19, especially with 6 points lol, ive checked and insurance drops a lot when im 20 so might see what happens
I hope I get a good price...

Looks nice, what is it a GTi-6 or XSi?

EDIT: OK, just saw your sig.

Sounds like you're burning around too much if you ate tyres in 4 months, that is expensive! :eek:
 
2.5k if your lucky as its been modded :( Its a sad time, can you not just stick it in a garage till you can afford it?
 
I could do really ive got a nice car for my age and done some nice modifications to it suttle and sweet!
I was planning on keeping it until 21 then getting something else but id rather pay my loans off lol
 
how about you learn to drive a bit more sensibly, then you wont use so much on fuel and wont waste tyres so quickly..

I was thinking this too...

But I have to ask are you sure nothing is wrong with the car to go through tyres that quick?

Surely tyres will last a year at least, even if you do thrash it about all the time.

Depends how you drive. A mate of mine is most of the way through a set of Toyo Proxes that he put on a couple of months ago. He's only done about 3000 miles on them, and they're going to need doing within the next 1000-2000 miles. They are a sticky rubber compound though, which does wear quickly, and he does burn around in them.

If I was to transfer the same situation to the mileage I do in my car, I'd be geting through a £300 set of tyres every 8 weeks!

Edited to add another anecdote. A mate of mine built a 170bhp, 450kg kitcar a few years ago. Brand new super sticky, minimum road legal tread depth tyres on it, Yokohama A048s I think they were. Cost him a good few hundred quid, and he burnt them out within about 12 hours of the car passing his SVA test, in about 400 miles. That was about £350 down the drain!
