Leading on from my which diesel car i have been crunching numbers and have come up with a few ideas so wanted to get peoples opinions.

 

We have recently moved so i didnt really want to get into anymore debt but just found out its likely that due to the house market in our area still trying to catch up on the prices its likely that even though ive only been here 6 months it looks like ive made around 40-50k on the house so i'm thinking of releasing some of the money.

 

I get an allowance from my company which would cover any loan so as its stands my options are:

 

Sell/trade my diesel laguna and buy something else diesel but a really nice one like a newish audi or bmw?

 

Keep the laguna as a work horse and get myself a toy ie single supra or skyline gtr?

 

Dont be silly and stay out of debt?

 

Looking to get around £20k but spend £5k on the garden and the wife wants to get rid of her 206 gti and get an old skool mini cooper which is worth a similar amount to her car give or take a grand or two so it leaves me with my car which is worth circa £5-6k and around £13k

Keep the laguna as a work horse and get myself a toy ie 300zx !

LOL i think ive done about as much as a could in a 300zx so its time for a change, dont get me wrong of something like the pentroof car came up it would really put the car amongst the pigeons but decent cars like that are one in a million, missed out on a swb zed a few months ago running 800 rwhp but the bidding went silly and went for over £20k in the end to a dealer in denmark :smash:

Honda S2000 with the Mugan Supercharger. Nice and freshly imported.

 

You know it makes sense Mike

I'd play it safe with the sensible option.....

 

.....there is no telling what will happen to the economy over the next year or so so personally I would not take the chance!

 

That's just me though ;)
