Here Here....

I'm a director......currently run a Mercedes E class......

Moving jobs......getting a UK300 (Saturday) and will travel 20k + miles per year just in the job..then 10k private...30k per year.

I've got the car for three years....PPP and all that + Fuel Card http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

I wake up at night thinking...what have I done...should I have got a BMW or something...then smile cos I've always wanted a scooby.

Tell me I'm not going mad?

I know the residual after 30k a year will be silly but hey?

The residuals are going to be silly whatever you buy with that predicted mileage, so just enjoy the journey http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Poor ikkle rich kid...Life's such a bummer! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Muh-hah-hah-hah!

Sounds like a license to have some monster fun to me! ENJOY! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Jason,

get a life ....

enjoy it while you can ....

if I'd been able to have afforded one earlier ... I'd have had a Scoob long ago http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

yeah you are right.....bloomin idiot I am...

Thank Rebecca....I'll get a life......need a lift anywhere? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif

Happy driving everyone.

If you're going to do 30k a year (I did last year) then you need something like a Scoob to keep you sane because (a) it livens up a dull journey and (b) enables you to overtake the other idiots. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Nearly 3 years ago I was given the opportunity to try a turbo - was then on company BMW. One try & I was hooked !! No it isn't a comfort car but it is a joy to drive and a real driver's car so enjoy !!

Recently opted out of company car scheme due to tax changes due next April - went and bought a P1. You only live once!!

Everyone's got BMW's
I agree with previous comments, you only live once.
How many people will have UK300's (about 300 I suppose)!!
Just enjoy it.

Cheer up, Jason.

I'm driving an Escort (look where I'm from before you condemn me - they're held in trust for us in the Town Hall, you ahev to drive one to be allowed in the County...) and decided recently to get a new car.

However, due to cashflow issues, I've got to wait 2-3 months before I can get it.

HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHAT THAT IS LIKE!?!?

ENJOY THE CAR (and the club that goes with it - how many BMW driver's bbs boards are there...)

Anyway, here's to my MY97 or MY98 and a grin the size of Cheshire come Christmas. Oh, and anyone who sees a good MY97 or MY98 for around the £10,000-£10,500 mark, let me know.

nothing wrong with a MY97uk, i love mine! had it over two years now and still OWE just over 2years HP on her!!!!!! lol http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif still worth it though! lol, wot would i change too? can't afford too yet! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Merc's are for old men!
BM's are 4 posers+wanna b's+ The Jones' (i have had E36 by the way!) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif lol

Hi Jason,

Well ive given up my company car AND my free petrol card to get a UK300 with PPP as well!

The money from my company pays for the car and about 1/2 my insurance, but I'm going to have to pay for the rest of insurance, private fuel, servicing etc which I reckon will cost me £150-200 a month.

But I thought what the hell, I have the opportunity to get something Ive always wanted so go for it. I dont think Im mad, but I do try not to think about residuals. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

We should count ourselves luckly that our cars are funded by our jobs, as I know some people struggle very hard to keep their beloved scoobs.

Just get out and enjoy your UK300 as much as possible http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
