Off Topic Cars

I probably won’t pay for the maintenance extra. Won’t be doing enough miles. Selling cars is a ball ache. I ended up selling my missus’s old car to a trade buyer as I couldn’t be arsed dealing with tyre kicker ****s.

 

May be all the **** is worth.

 

It’ll have manufacturers warranty for all the miles you’ll do.

 

Apparently that only covers the big stuff. I asked the question at the time. The sales guy advised in the end not to bother paying the extra.

 

Well it’s the starter motor.

Could have been worse.. still no idea on price yet.

 

Who has a sunroof?

Mine is always open.

Anyone ever had a decent convertible?

 

Sunroof lol, panoramic roof these days mate....same difference only bigger.....and just as ****ing pointless

My Mrs had a convertible, aside from a couple of weeks a year that was pointless as well. Not a car for the UK imo.

 

My old beast has an ordinary sunroof. I've lost count how many times i've left it open.

 

No such thing

 

Got a sunroof in jag. No idea if it works.

Used to have a Honda CRX back in the day. Had removable targa roof on it. Loved it.

 

Getting rid of mine in a few months.

 

Because it's ****?

 

If you look carefully when you go to Spain you’ll notice very few convertibles. The few you see are probably driven by foreigners.

I’ve seen idiots driving around in the middle of the day in July and August with the top down. Usually getting burnt to **** while they probably think they look cool.

 

Same as Thailand. Very few convertibles.

 

No mate. The mpg is bloody awful and in a few months it looks like I'll be permanently driving into London every day.

 

Re sold the Beamer today. Happy days.

 

You'll miss it now

 

I already do. Enjoyed driving it the last few days.

 

Why you never buy new.

XF loses over 32% in first year.

I just placed a lease order for that very reason. TBH don’t know how the lease company is making it work for them but it defo works for me.
