Heads up on my car for sale

[boxclever1753]

hi guys

my E30 ownership is once again having to take a back seat - this time due to economics. my daily commute has gone from zero to over 200 miles a week and i can't justify using the 325i as a daily.. and i can't afford to keep 2 cars at the moment so it has to go.. a sad day but i will revisit an E30 convertible in the future at some point!

so the car will be emptied and cleaned tomorrow and i'll be posting some pictures (if the weather allows) and a full description then - keep a watch out, it will be a bargain.

(FYI it's a laser blue 4 door 325i auto on an H plate with MOT)

the zone will be getting a week's advance selling and then it will be put up on eBay / Pistonheads etc for a few quid more.

it's already been replaced with a turbo diesel focus and i'm loving the lack of fuel being used!

until tomorrow then... )

rich.

(PS i'm based 5 miles north of Newmarket)

I also have a laser blue 4 door. It's a cracking colour.

Good luck with the sale.

You probably pay a lot less for fuel?

love it! i just moved here so have no family members for miles!!

[johnl320]

fancied a quiet life on the fens then? I miss the place really, schooled in mildenhall and did a lot of drinking in Newmarket.

[boxclever1753]

i work in cambridge but was working from home down south when i just decided to move up - just fancied living in the country for a bit.. am liking it so far, but i've only been here a month!

[johnl320]

I'm in Hampshire now and would very much like to move back up there some day.

[boxclever1753]

i come from bristol mate, and have lived all over really, as well as hampshire (winchester) so am liking country life again.

not too keen on andover to be honest, but there's a good all you can eat chinese buffet in the town centre tho!!

As a percentage of national average salaries I pay more in real terms for unleaded 95 than you do, but that's not really what I was getting at.
I just wouldn't get rid of my E30 just to cut my fuel bill by 30 - 40%.

[johnl320]

Thought about LPG? Chinky is good

if you're referring to me - comparing the E30 to my new car i now save 50% on road tax, i save 20% yearly on insurance and have cut my fuel bill monthly by 75%..

i have effectively given myself a gross £5k+ payrise which i'd rather have in my pocket than pay out unneccessarily on transport.

Fair enough !
TPS was referring to the fact that I live in Spain so I was actually replying to him and people in the UK in general.
The tax difference is huge compared to what I would save by changing to a more economical car so you deffinately win more on that argument than on the fuel.

But what car have you bought that's saving you 75% on fuel ?

I'm getting about 30 mpg on my commute so to reduce my fuel bill by 75% I'd have to find a car that does 120mpg !
