Hi Guys,
Just a quick update on my car situation.........
After a long hard think I've decided that the best thing to do is to trade it in.......
If it was just the ball joint and the drop link then I could handle it. Even perhaps the exhaust problems as well, but all these together is just crazy. I can't even begin to think about the spark plug situation......it could just pop out but it could also end up costing me heaps of cash and I'm just not prepared to spend that out.
Then there's the fact that I could spend all this money getting it sorted only for something else to go wrong, such as coil pack, or I may have more trouble with the throttle bodies and have to replace those.
I wouldn't mind if the car had done load of miles but it's only just done 39K. I bought this car so that I would (hopefully!!) have a few years of trouble free motoring but it just aint worked out that way.........
I'm gutted about all this as I've always wanted a 206, but there you go!
As a replacement I'm thinking of a Seat Ibiza or Leon. I was thinking about the 1.6 as a minimum and maybe the 1.9tdi. Ideally I'd like a cupra and I reckon I can afford one but I was wondering if you guys had any opinions/comments..............
Any other cars you'd like to suggest? I've got about £5500 but if I can get one for less then I can put the difference towards my new bike fund!
