Off Topic Cars

I’m looking into getting one. Will probably lease. Saw a very good deal today.

 

On a Beamer? Which one??

 

Jag. Bizarrely on the current deal the XF is cheaper than the XE.

Speaking to them tomorrow. There’s probably a catch. I know **** all about cars so will have to get my cousin to sanity check everything!

 

Boom.

Be sure to join the Jaguar XF owners club on Facebook. It’s really sad but somewhat gratifying.

 

Sold the Beamer tonight. 24 hours on Facebook and it’s gone.

 

Good move fella. Get what you wanted for it ?

 

Wanted 5k got 4900. Though I haven’t had to valet it nor get the scratch done.

 

Well that's a ****ing result then I'd be looking to knock at least £500 off a car up for £5k

 

Had it advertised at 5500 to get 6

 

Ah well that's a different story then

 

I wanted 5 but was willing to at the scratch done at a cost of 150. Also haven’t had get it a valet done. So another saving of 50. Feel I’ve won here.

 

As long as you got the price you wanted fella, or thereabouts

Dunno about you, but once I've bought a new motor and I'm cooing over it, I generally let the old one go for way less that it's probably worth, because I'm too busy salivating over the new one

 

I loved my Beamer. Was my first one. Aspects of the car I really miss already.

It’s actually a tad slower than my new one. Though was more nimble. My jag feels more refined mind.

I also miss the steering wheel on the Beamer. I feel like I’m going to get points on my licence too with the jag. As it’s quieter. Took it up a dual track today, didn’t think I’d put my foot down that much and was doing 110.

 

I used to have a 320d Touring that I had remapped. That thing was like **** off a shovel. Especially for a Dad car

 

Evening dudes, been browsing the cars again this evening while hungover and it's come down to the fact I am getting a five series.
Got three options, although can't actually hand my work car in till next month so might yet miss out on all.

My mate has a garage and has two; one at 10990 and one at 14990. I'd expect the 990 to be knocked off both so it's a case of whether I go for the cheaper and older versus the costlier one being a nicer looking m sport.

There's also one for sale in a BMW dealership down where I work. That would be 11.5k. It's a 3 litre too so got the extra poke.

That's favourite currently and I'll go have a look tomorrow.

 

Get the 3ltr.

I think the 5’s are under powered with a 2ltr.

 

That's an auto.

Always driven manual but I'm open to change!

 

Auto boxes are fine. I was wary switching to an auto but they are just as good once you stop slamming on the brakes trying to change gear

 

I’m just getting used to an auto. It’s quite relaxing.

Far easier rolling a *** while driving in an auto.

Go take the 3ltr for a spin then drive the 2. I’d bet my mortgage you’d want the 3ltr. It’s a brilliant engine the 3ltr straight 6 in the Beamer.

 

I haven’t actually done that yet.

Though when driving the Beamer I stalled it as forgot to change gear.
