Which Engine (kinda new car thread but not :P )

[Niall]

2 things - first it wont be the same as a new car, will still have a heavy clutch, uncomfortable noisy ride, dents/scuffs/scratches and a tiny turbo etc lol. And second why spend ~£700 on a car that will only be worth that afterwards? Its not even economically viable to fix as I keep saying

As I said, we'll have to agree to disagree on this.


I think the thread's run its course, it's now turned into a thread about the HDi which wasn't the purpose of it.

Of course it is. You could say the same about a 62 plate car. If it needed new tyres all round, thats a few hundred quid right there. Is it worth it when the car will only be scrapped in years to come? Of course it is because its still got loads of life in it. All the things you listed above are classed as consumable items which you budget to replace/repair.

Its like saying your nan is getting on a bit so f*ck it, why bother getting her medication for her every week? Lets scrap her now and save money on her prescription.
