Well use some of that money to pay your dad back....







That's why I will never understand students lol


Expecting around £2.5k loan for the year, obviously I'll be paying for fuel and food so it won't stretch to far on car repayments!

I probably just need to spend the £700-£800 to get it all fixed and then enjoy my car again

The plan today is to wash it as it's in dire need. That's if I can resist the urge to drive it..... However GF has got all the wash stuff out and left it in middle of lounge before she went to work so could possibly be a hint..... :D

All treated with back to black didn't realise how much difference there was until I put the photos next to each other. As the B pillars were off the car I decided to do them separately, made a massive difference in colour. Cars looks better for it, and certainly better than it did wrapped!

Is this just the back to black from the spray cans, on a rag wiped on, or is it some kind of cream?

Think the difference is good so want to do mine tomorrow so wanna know what you used buddy.

It's Simoniz back to black trim spray. If I'm honest it's not very good, needs loads of coats of it and looks really patchy after a while about a month.

So you have got a nice car. It does the job you need it to, looks good, goes well and is largely reliable.

Because your mileage is high, you are worried about wear and tear, so decide to buy a worse car that is probably already worn and a 2nd car (for fun) that won't be as nice as the car you started with. You loose the nice car and end up with 2 worse cars.

There is no logic mate, you will only lose out. Run the leon into the ground, or swap it for something else when you are bored with it. Just don't try to save money by swapping cars, it never works.
+1. You always loose on cars. Stick with a decent one long term. if you've cared for it you know its history. You might buy one that ends up with loads of probs. If its not broke dont fix it

or start paying your dad back if it bothers you


With what money?

I work part time for my dad's company along with delivery driving for the local take away. I don't earn enough money to pay him back at the minute. Come September I'm back in uni again!

Ultimately I'm probably gonna have to just fix what's wrong with it (bodywork and wheel bearing) and keep it. Maybe a cheeky remap too.

Seen this though - looks smart. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201405144208154?atmobcid=soc4

As above. Selling your car to get something cheaper never works out. Been there done it and still can't sit down!

Maybe it was a wrong choice to get a car that expensive when you was at uni. Love and learn as they say.
