Quite fancy selling up, buying a cheaper daily and getting an older car that may become a classic in the future...
Boooooo
Don't let the little niggles that's happen over the last month put you off.

Selling up = getting a better version.
Sort yourself out Sam. You'll HATE a smaller more efficient car.
Looked at an 04 audi a3 2.0tdi DSG with all the toys, looks pretty smart. Would allow enough money for a second car whilst not giving up massive amounts from what I have now!
My main issue is trying to keep mine in good condition while doing the mileage I do (22k in the last 12 months) is near on impossible and it's doing my head in! Just dent after stone chip after scrape. So much to sort on it, but it'll never be perfect
Yeah but you will get that in any car you buy pal. It's the **** with doing high mileage.

Oh yeah, but with an old car I won't care
plus I'll have my second car which will be kept in pristine condition and only come out on good days!

Twice the insurance, twice the tax, 2 cheaper cars that are more likely to go wrong...there are a lot of cons. I wouldn't want a 10 year old Audi with a DSG box to rely on for big miles. If you are going cheap, go stupidly cheap and get an old mercedes diesel. Run it on chip fat and then bin it when it breaks. Or go for a primera, avensis or something under a grand that you really won't care about.
Or just keep the Leon and have the best of both worlds on one package..,

Currently looking into Audi A4 Estates, manual, around 02-04. 1.9TDi 130bhp as I know they're reliable engines.
Insurance is something I need to look into, yeah.
My mileage should drop from 22k as I won't be travelling between Teesside and Liverpool weekly due to transferring to Teesside Uni - just 20 miles a day commute instead.
Obviously it's something that would require a fair amount of looking into rather than jumping straight for it!
To be honest mate one reason for doing it is so i can pay my dad back the money i owe him on my car...
It well easy mate. 5 minute job max, 4 screws to undo and a wire to unplug lift the old dv out, new dv in, 4 screws back in and plug wire in, job done. £36 from TPS, part numbers is 06F 145 710 G.
If i got around £12k for mine, I can pay my dad back and i'd have £7k left. £5k on a daily and £2k on a classic to be (i expect some restoration to be involved).
