So, anyone with a 10 yr old car is unlikely to buy new. They are not the "must have new" types. Thyre likely to buy a 2-3 yr old car and save some dosh

exactly. I have a 12 year old car, currently on 200k miles. I will run it into the ground and then buy another 10 year old car for £800. I will NEVER buy a new car. EVER. Pointless if they're trying to aim the scheme at me.

mines 14 years old and 145k, won't get rid until she is terminal- cars are wack anyway- sorry Dr S :roll:

each week there would be a " how do i fix my split ? " thread

buckets seem to be getting made more brittle :x

im perfectly happy with my 69 escort van , its been through the worthless value stage of its life . tax exempt too . just a shame 60s/70s metal was crappy but at least there isnt any electrickery to stop working , if i want a window open i use the winder , to steer i just put more effort in

i didnt know you could buy 2nd hand hyundais , whos buying them ? nobody thats who
