Matt is much is nice to go get new car you can't guarantee that it won't break down is well, is one of them things, I know the one you looked at will come with warranty so will give a bit piece of mind but it come at a cost, only you can decide it if is worth it or if you can afford it, I personally wouldn't sell a car that I just invested so much money in it, some will do 200k on clutch other will only manage 20k there is just no telling, there is no point in worrying when will it fail again when it happens deal with it then, you might be surprised and nothing will go wrong for next couple of years.

Yeah, to be fair the clutch and flywheel went and I'm OK with that. Then cv boot and seal yeah fine it happens. Actually felt happy once all was done, skint but happy.
Now this has just broken me right now.
So many years running cheap cars with little faults wondering when they would pack in, and now I feel like that with a nearly new car.
One of those situations, this fault whatever it is may cost £100 or £1000, could be next week or next year, same on any car I know.
Just feel once a car starts to go wrong it's the slippery slope downwards.
Don't think iv owned this car long enough yet to warrant selling, gonna lose to much on it. But on the other hand it's taken me 5 years to get to this stage, with bad credit ratings etc, if this car turns out to be lemon will be all for nothing. Same with any car I know.
Chances are il be keeping it, unless the right GS comes up at the right price etc, cos at end of the day whatever I'm going to lose by selling will be going onto the GS as negative equity. This car still has plenty going for it, and if needed I will put more money into it. Life throwing so many issues at me last few years, really don't need car worries.
Wow did I write all that .
