You should give daveyboyuk a lesson in how to price your car properly. That seems fair, and it's a nice car mate.

If i was to keep it id spend another £250 on it.
£130 on eibach -30mm springs allround
£120 irmscher rear spoiler

Dont know where your buying houses from but you and your partner need to be earning at least 50K a year and need at least 15K deposit these days to even stand a chance to buy any decent house.

I have £15k saved, and an extra £5k would come in handy thats why im selling it.

As you can see from my location i live in wales.
House prices around here are lower than most places in the uk but still are expensive.

For example i could buy a £40k terraced house and spend £10k doing it up and putting alot of time and efford into doing it up.

Or i could buy a £75k terraced 3 bed ready to move in with out nothing need doing.

Or i could move into a new house 3 bed semi detatched Barrett house for £125k.

Also i dont know wether to buy a house now or wait 2 years for the market to settle down. Think i might go for the latter us people who are 18-22 have no chance of getting a decent house untill one of our family dies (sad i know but its the truth) and thats if they have no mortgauge.

£50k a year each and £15k deposit would get him a £365k house. I would say that would be decent enough.
Or if you meant 50 between them, he could still get a mortgage of at least £150k

plus he is living in wales

not beverly hills

True - anyway back to the thread.........Nice car and hope you sell it mate, looks stunning and a bargain for what your paying for.

I drive a Corsa B but drove one of these badboys in a SRi and it drives so smoother - effortless driving comes to mind!
