I've been doing my finances recently, and the Skoda has to go. Much as it pisses me off, I actually love driving it, it's comfy, handles brilliantly, feels good quality, it's decent on fuel for what it is, it surprises people, and it's bloody fast...
Thing is, I have to be realistic. I didn't get a payrise this year at all because the company I work for decided that their staff shouldn't be rewarded for all their hard work because a payrise would look bad in the media, everything has become more expensive, my rent has gone up, and I want to buy my house. I've been looking at all kinds of diesel cars like VAG TDIs, but frankly if I'm gonna drive a diesel it may as well be a 306, at least that way I'm not stuck with an over-complicated VAG for double the price
So, as soon as I get back off holiday it's getting sorted. I'm gonna try find a dealer who'll do me a deal with a 306 (and probably have my pants down), and if I can't find a deal I can stomach I'm just gonna sort a couple of faults on the Skoda and bang it on eBay. A 306 diesel will probably save me 100-150 a month in fuel and insurance, which is important right now :roll:
Pity really, I always thought I'd have another 306, but I wanted a GTI :nope:
