Just agreed a swap deal on my scoob with a 330d touring!!!!

I love the scoobs performance, handling, looks and sound, but i just hate the running costs!! I do at least 600miles a week and have ended up buying another old car to help cut the miles and petrol bills down, but its just crippling me!!!

I've spent a fortune on my car, and have lost a shed load, but basically the Beemer will be worth the same if not a little more in 3 years time, and definetly easier to sell on with the sort of mileage i put on cars!!

I'm just worried i will end up really regreting selling her, i am almost in tears thinking about handing her over at the weekend!! But my wallet is jumping for joy!!

The old head says one thing, the heart says the other!!

Austen,

Scooby ownership and that flat four rumble is more addictive than heroin - and you can never get clean!!!

You will be back..... Like many I have been round that buoy once before, sold on my scoob becasue of running costs - regretted it for quite a while, bought a house then decided I wanted another scoob.

No looking back this time!!!!

Sensible choice for that mileage, but unlucky

You'd be wise to go for the Beemer IMO, its only a car

Get yourself a weekend track car for your driving thrills.

Funny you should say that, one of the big reason for a change is that i don't plan to use the scoob on track anymore as i have just bought a 325i e30 pure track car!!

Also will probably get a motorbike for some road thrill!!

Been there, done it, got the T shirt

Sold the blue scoob now replaced with red scoob,sold the bike soon to be replaced by another,so reading your thread matey seems to me if you sell then youll be getting another.

Buy an oil burner for the mileage and keep the scoob for thrills,forget 2 wheels this year m8 it will be all over shortly and back to good old british weather

Dito, nice having money but my god diesels are a bore

Not a bit actually, the 330 goes like stink, it's no Evo but will beat most things. It's comfy, has all the toys, 5 years free servicing, cheaper insurance and returns 40mpg!!!

austen_wrx

What spec did you go for?? Sport, SE???

MattW

330D Sport Saloon Man, bluetooth, 3rd rear belt, leather, xenons, tracker, 5 years maintenance. Metallic Grey.

Bought as a demo with 5000 miles for a great price!!

Wish I'd got the Auto though. The manual is nice, but the Auto was lovely.

I'm going to pull out of the deal, i've decided this particular isn't right for me, i am holding on for a newer 330d sport

When I sold my classic scooby and bought a Audi TT, I was gutted, I kept going on ScoobyNet wishing I had another Scooby, Saying to myself everyday that one day I would have another, Then I kept trying to pick faults with the Audi, so that it gave me a excuse to get rid of it, and the excuse was, it wasnt pratical enough and it wasnt big enough, and I didnt enjoy it as much as the scoob, basically it was a boring expensive car with no character.

I was saying the same things as you Austen, That the TT wouldnt lose much money etc, but at the end of the day if you dont enjoy it then whats the point. I enjoy my scooby now, and I would only change it for either the 2006 STi thats coming out or a Evo 9.
