thinking of selling fr and getting a LCR

[dasmith83]

Hi all,

what do you rekon?

My m8 has a LCR onvi, 43k miles, 210bhp, 03 plate, fsh, mint interior, gd exterior condition. We've agreed on £8,200.

I'm after more power, and as mine has depreciated sooo much in 1 year, i'm deffo not going new again!

What you lot rekon?

Is it a gd buy?

I've got both in our household, both are great cars so it depends on what you are after out of a car and if you want to make your outgoings more or less. Depreciation wise, the LCR has taken it's worst hit and should be pretty steady now compared to an 07 plate Ibiza....

How many miles do you do a year? The LCR is not as economical as an Ibiza TDi, my LCR gets around 30-34mpg on a run and the wife's Ibiza gets 45-50mpg... Plus tax and insurance will hike up too...

Some things to consider...

as i've declared my ibiza's coilys, the insurance stays pretty much the same...tax sux but i can live with it....and as for fuel economy, i used to get 50mpg, but since revo, never see above 45mpg, and on average get around 38mpg, so its not a huge decrease...altho it will cost more to fill up a whole tank.

im gona ring the bank 2mo to see if im able to get the required loan for the lcr...if so....wahay!

oh, and i average at 1k miles per month

Sounds like an ok deal, have a look on autorader website and see what they are going for on there with that age and mileage, should give you a good idea as to whether you are gettin a good deal or not?
