Done 20,000miles in a year in a £4k audi a3 tdi, had to replace rear pads and an alternator.
Someone could of bought that car and done 10k a year and only had those problems spread over 2yrs, So spent £4k, £20 on brakes and £200 on alternator and still sell the car afterwards for £3-£3.5k
Can't go spending money on What-ifs, thats what car insurance is for. Sod buying a car on that basis.

If only it was a new A3, then your reply would be valid in a thread about leasing new cars

Thats the thing, a new has less chance of going wrong, if a 10yr old one only cost £300 in repairs over 20,000miles than it kinda proves the scaremongering is false.
People only want new cars to show off imo People with the cars that break down a lot are making bad choices in buying used cars, never buy a modified car or someone's old project, only buy original, Full service history 1-2 owner cars.
Not manky old astras that someone else has given up on.
Bad choices, not bad cars.

Good-o 
Shall we get back to the original topic on lease deals rather than continue to railroad it to discuss irrelevant points?

A bit of a bargain that  Would be interesting to see what a maintenance package would cost though, as i suspect they'll find someway to screw you in that area without it.

Kind of panicked into it as the deal ended today and everything else is 250+

We've just got a bog standard 15 plate corsa van at work and its a very nice van, impressed with it. The vxr is a grower, im liking the shape more everytime i see any model corsa.
My vxr on lease was 3x23 160 a month for 8k a year miles. So that sounds about right, good for it being a new released shape id think.

That vxr is proper ugly. But 200 quid a month for that is decent.
Shame the golf r deal is no more.

Why have you got something you don't really like the look of or want? Makes no sense.
