So, with the sad death of my S2 confirmed [
] I find myself back on the hunt for a car! With the insurance pay out and it being payday my budget stretches to just about 4k right now, the question is, how much do I want to spend!
Im fairly limited in some ways about what I want, I definitely want an S2 or turbo, and I want either blue or black either with a bridge spoiler or with budget left to fit one, but am torn about how much to spend. I loved the S2 but somehow think I might love a turbo that bit more.... and then surely the late edition 250bhp is the way to go??
I dont need to buy right now, so can afford to wait and save up a bit more cash, but on the flip side I am based in Scotland and have next week off work, so can travel to see something easily now. But do not want to make another kneejerk buy like the first one may have turned out to be!
On the plus side apparently I had some sort of funny 'accident forgiveness' scheme on my car insurance, didnt even know about it but it means Im not going to get stung too badly on my insurance premiums!! And the company ended up valuing the car at £100 more than I payed for it (if only I hadnt immediately got the belts done!!), so I reckon overall Im 500 quid out of pocket for the crash, not a nice feeling but could have been a lot worse.
So what are peoples thoughts?
