new cars and depreciation

You bought an 8v instead of a 16v mk2.

Nuff said, end of conversation.

 

no.. the company is buying him the car lol

 

?
.

 

ok now im really upset... you go tme there... dang!

you bought an astra.

lol ok this really is the end now, say your last comment i wont post again regarding this little tiff, now come and give me a kiss go on hahaa

 

they look much longer than 24mm

 

The company that my wife and I OWN

 

what company is that then? owning a company is not hard, neither is borrowing money via a company

 

Ohh if I really have to...

 

Of course it's not hard - You can buy one for about 30.

Running a PR company with clients such as Sky, Walkers, and many government regeneration projects, CAD firms, etc isn't quite so easy though

The company doesn't need to borrow any money to buy the VeeDub - Company finance is cr4p.

 

... and you drive an astra hmmmm

 

Yes and my uncle who's worth serious money drives an old mk4 Golf.
And wife's grandad who's worth more drives a Jimny.

People are not what they drive and not all Astras are equal.

 

well it just doesnt add up. being a 'car enthusiast' and 'being worth serious money' but choosing an astra.

odd choice to say the least

 

I'm not worth "serious" money - My uncle is!

A beaten up old mk1 Astra worth 50 is an Astra.
A mk5 VXR worth 20k is an Astra.
A mk5 888 CDTi is an Astra.

My mk5 150bhp 235lbs/ft Astra with 17" 225/45 wheels/tyres, 308mm brakes, lowered by 10mm, Lotus engineered, uber comfy, half leather interiored, hugely practical, massive VFM, brilliant handling, well made (better than the R32), freshly styled Astra is STILL an Astra.

A bit like comparing a mk3 1.4CL Golf to a Mk5 R32 because they are both Golfs.

Will post pics of the California when we get it. Only got this to go by so far:

whats that like price wise compared to an A3 or Golf TDi?

 

hahah the richest man i know drives a volvo worth about 50 at most... i dont htink he even gets it serviced

 

actually owning a succesfull company is nearly allways hard mate.




i would love one of thos california vans. post some pics up when you get it.

 

haha i know someone who bought a 1.6 vectra base model brand new in 1997 P plate for in region of 12K and we all know that it isnt worth 500quid now - a wise investment??? perhaps not.

 

im seeing a pattern here!.....does your uncle work for(or perhaps major shareholder) GM by chance!?

 

i think my brothers vectra was worth about 17-18, its now worth about 6. loads of probs too

 

So the bottom line is;

new cars aint so bad...

but any Vauxhall is bad news


Edit - I have to say this looks like brilliant fun:

VW CALIFORNIA - 174PS 2.5 TDI PD - 5 cylinder producing 400 Nm maximum torque with either a 6-speed manual gearbox, 6-speed automatic gearbox with Tiptronic or 4MOTION all wheel drive system with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Get it!!!
