he bought a **** car because hes tight and trying to justify buying a heap instead of an impreza because its cheap to run

Stick_man

What level Rio, please say 3 ? ISG ?

70MPG is a no-go, we get alot of complaint regarding this. The figures stamped on a new car are goverment standard figures and not actual real figures, you can expect very high 50's/60's though on a run.

We dont have that many issues with these upto now, the 1.1CRDi DOES NOT get its oil changed on first service mind, be warned! Also, there is a SVC action for drive belt tension incorrectly adjusted so make sure this is done before leaving workshop.

I didn't read the entire thread, but if money isn't the issue why are you posting all the figures?

Money is obviously the issue which makes a Subaru the wrong car for you.

I can understand why your selling to save money but just say that,nothing to be ashamed of.

I have owned the wrx for six years. Yes the scooby is better built than the Kia, Yes the scooby is an all round better drivers car.

But thanks to the government they are pushing cars like the Impreza to extinction, with fuel and tax.

For me, I have decided to jump ship ( or maybe pushed ) On a personal level its just not for me anymore.

I totally understand why people would want to keep on running one.

colapepsi

And no its not a money issue to why I am selling it.



Suppose I am getting older and duller!!!

Your mental, so you want to save money, so you spend £12k on a new car that will lose more than half it's value in 2yrs and will need main dealer services for 7yrs.

Yeah that makes perfect sense.

Rich has it bang on. I sold my impreza to save money whilst there is only one wage coming into my household. I'd rather spend my bit of expendable cash on my family for a bit until my son goes to school and Mrs gets back into part/fulltime work. I'm not ashamed to say it but the OP seems a little PSLewis 'loadsa monies but not spending it' type post

Keep the impreza, buy a mk4 gt tdi golf, that's what I did, plus I get to drive the scoob on the weekends

RB5Ollie

I can see you point, but the Kia has cost you £7400 more than the Scooby, so it will take 3.5 years before you break even, and your driving a Kia!

ditchmyster

Even longer when you factor in the cost of main dealer servicing to maintain warranty, and that's before the 70% depreciation.

Obviously not a student of the London School of Economics.

Hahahaha swapping a Scooby for a Kia lol

Kia rio at £12000 new.
How much do you think it'll be worth at a year old ?????

7, maybe 8 grand if your very lucky. Yep, great financial sense there fella...lol..

What you should of done is sell your impreza privately and then bought something at a year or two old that has already lost most of its value.

It's similar maths to somebody who seriously asked me if I could fit a gas conversion to his 1956 V8 Chevrolet.
When I said "WHY THE HELL do you want to vandalise your car in that way?" he said he wanted to save on the fuel bills!
I asked him how many miles a year he drove in it. (1200 tops!)
I then worked out it would take him ten years to pay for it, and he'd have a ruined car at the end of it.
Sometimes we have choices in life, for example between taking out that dodgy blonde who is going to take all your money but leave you completely satisfied, or plumping for safety with the mousey girl from the chippy.
You choose!

Not taking the depreciation into account? or just ignoring it?

I don't get this selling up if money is not a worry especially when your sums don't even add up. I would rather enjoy my cars now whilst they are still affordable than sell up for a boring korean eco box

colapepsi

The Impreza needs a new clutch, cam belt changing, 4 new tyres and servicing/mot.

How much to do all that 1000 to 1500??????

Turbotits

iTrader: (2)

Yep but there just running costs and not 12k worth.

Any car you choose to buy will have costs that you havent factored into your sums.

Dont get me wrong i couldnt afford to run my scooby as an every day car

Is all of this included in the price of the Kia then?

The future is not BHP, it will be MPG

colapepsi

Please keep the insults up!!

As I will show you my second car, if you think its a money thing.

Moley

iTrader: (9)

You've just said above that the future is MPG not BHP, so if you're going to show us a supercar that'll completely contradict your point.

Go on then, what is your second car?

iTrader: (2)

Yes, and no mate, I mean my Pontiac is far more green and eco compared to my daily driver isn't it?

This post is so ridiculous. The OP clearly has not thought this through enough. The dealer must have been chomping at the bit! You have, without realising it or admitting it, just ended up spending more money in the long run no matter how you look at it. Whether you want to admit that is another matter but good luck, you are gonna need it pal with decisions like this. Change your driving style, not your car! And please post back when you come to sell the car in the future, if you can stomach the depreciation! And the whole thing about the second car... well

colapepsi

This was a good forum, but all you get is insults and rudeness.

This is my second car.....I know you will not believe me.. I love the insults, keep them coming.

colapepsi

I`ll start you lot off. Rubbish you got that from google images.
