hmmm Im still looking at the 300s the more i read up on them ,google,wiki, fan sites the more i want one just need to know if i could afford to be without a cxar if it failed or something expensive went wrong as im not in a position "as yet" to be able to afford such high running cost's BUT maybe you will see me on here with one ;) hopefully....

Hi folks me again! Ive been looking at the 200's but there are sooo many nice rides on here i keep coming back to the 300's na, from reading the post's it does seem like there a BIT cheaper to run and i guess if i did go for one i would have to accept the fact that im too stay single and stop going out as much!! Question for you tho i know ive asked about insurance but as theres so many different mods done to these cards it would be hard for me to get an accurate "imaginary" quote from an insurer..... SO any else around the 27 mark with not a huge amount of driving experience under thier belt? how much do you need to fork out and do you declare everything? thanks again drooling over pics....

LOL!! i wish i was mate wish i was Im in IT wrong career choice for car fixin! She failed on brakes so ive done most of that myself then 2! VW dealer's gave me the incorrect bleed procedure! so after much swearing ive given up for now as the car is at oldmeldrum and its a nightmare getting bus's. she also needs a small brake pipe and the rear brake compensator valve free'd up but im not the greatest under a car. then a retest and she should be fine BUT if i do decide to keep her then she will need a new timing belt a new clutch and a full service and theres a couple of small rust patchs showing!! was quoted about £825 for the lot on average.... considering she's got 132k and was quite cheap (bought in glasgow) i might just run her over winter and sell her on, theres nothing wrong with the clutch per say but you know what like when its yours you want it perfect. Im guessing you know your stuff if your making your TT a mechano project :bow:

nice one sounds like a plan when the little VW is on the road i will drop you a pm :D

Alright stevie, for my sins i bought a flat on fraser street near pcworld? Had to cos of the budget andf crazy house prices!! What about yourself when i get the golf up and running again i might have to come perf on your machine lol! :x:

Guys im gonna begin looking for one of the non turbos and see what mr elephant.co.uk says.... now time to fix and sell the golf!

sorry forgot to ask how much was yours...if that not too cheeky!

lol i like the idea of your running costs...i want this to be my daily driver and i dont do that many long trips but i think 3000 miles is not enough as i love driving round the scottish back roads! but that is a more attractive amount to be spending.... oh and thanks for the welcomes :hyper:

ok non turbo check and a yearly budget rethink check... gonna go a hunting and do some serious thinking, im impulsive sometimes thank god for forums!! cheers are the 200's any good out of interest? or am i cheating myself lol

wow thanks for the quick responses guys!! Takemetothepub.....your probably right it was at the back of my mind about cost and experience but they are sexy motors lol but can i afford to pay that much for sex each year???? hmmmm...I was also looking at the 200's maybe a better idea to go for the baby version first? any opinions on these? thansk again

Hi folks firstly some lovely looking cars on here seeing them has made my mind up that i want one! :D I was wondering if you could impart soem friendly advice on buying and insuring? I have no experience of Nissan im a Vw golf man at present and with a limited budget to style the 300 series looks the business and the fact theres such a big following for the car that gives me some confidence. If you were me and had about 3k to spend on one what things would you look for and what could i hope to expect from this amount the other thing i need to consider is the fact im 27 and have been driving for only a year (i know bit of a lazy one!) My current car is a mk3 golf gti 8v so theres going to be insurance to consider my current fully comp amount is £401 which considering it was £698 last year isnt bad! Does servicing cost a lot? Is there a lot to consider from the import versions? i would want a manual gearbox, are these harder to find? what sort of things can go wrong and can it turn into a money pit quickly? I have lots more im sure but i thought i would take it easy with my first post!! thanks for any input folks Kev :duffer:
