Happy New Year everyone, anybody thinking of changing their cars this year. I have heard there is going to be some great deals around between january and may because of the economy.

I want to have a change but feel i am attached to the Mk1 Octy

I would like a Subaru Legacy Outback but finances will not allow at the moment. Ho hum.

I did something really stupid. I told myself that if I got my promotion sorted I would buy myself a new car, now I feel I must do it. The car will be three in March, so it feels like a good idea, but who knows? I need to find something that completely floats my boat first.

It's going to be good if you have cash as most dealers need to do a deal.

If you have a px then your not going to be very happy with the offer you get.

I'm tempted to buy a new/ex demo car this year, but it will all depend on my finances in september/october. Right now i'd love to, but it isn't worth it.

I know what you mean mate

I'm sticking with the fabia for a while I think, otherwise the money I spent on a leather retrim and cruise control retrofit is completely wasted, especially given the current state of the used car market.

I might buy a second car for track days though...

Going to get a Octy 2 2.0 Elegance DSG next week I hope!

I know that I my P/ex price on my Ibiza probably wont break 5K, but if it does I will be happy.

Trying to source a good Mk 1 Cortina to replace the Morris Traveller. The VRS LE is staying with me though

wouldn't mind, but as my trip to work might be changing from a 3ish mile round trip to about 50 miles each way I could well end up with a poxy diesel :thumbdwn:

yeh .. i'll probably buy something fun to go alongside the mondeo which I purchased in place of my fabia vrs se after moving house a year ago.

At the moment I'm keen on the mkvi golf gti which will arrive in the summer although there's a 10% chance i'll opt for the cheaper octavia instead. That would be a little silly if I'm going to run the mondeo alongside it though.

I was thinking about a Megane R26 F1. I popped into my local Renault dealer for a laugh. That laugh has now turned into something a bit more serious. I was offered 10K for my 07 Clio:eek:, I was expecting more like 8K.

Thought i'd proper take the pee and ask for another grand off the price of the Megane. Unfortunately Christmas put a stop to the proceedings and the dealers had to close for the holidays. I'm hoping for a phone call on Friday.

I changed in late October and got a REALLY good px offer on my ST, I wouldn't of got anywhere near as much from a private sale. So there are some really good deals to be had.

emmas swift may be going this year,to be replaced by a mk5 golf gti edition 30,but shes not made hermind up yet.

i cant for a few more years yet, but im liking the atthawotsit grey that the vrs is in

Happy new year folks!

In regards to changing the car, not this year, got to have the Fabia for at least another year and a half to pay off the finance on it. Got to admit this car has been the best that I have owned and won't be my last Skoda, normally I change my cars every year and a half but not this time round.

If I'm going to change I've got to admit it will be a slower Skoda ie a roomster scout diesel or a Fabia 2 estate.

Currently got a 54 plate Octy (reg Feb 2005) Elegance 19.tdi with full leather, sports suspension 17" pegasus alloys and sat nav.(only done 27k miles). Was offered £5000 as part ex against a 57 plate Octy similar spec with DSG so would cost me £6200 to change. I can't make my mind up as in Feb mine is due service + timing belt so that will be approx £600. Decisions, decisions....

Im just about to leave for a Mk5 Golf 4Motion TDi Test drive.

Nice.

Have to get rid of wifes Mazda 5 in May and I may give her my vRS and I'll look at a new BMW 330d Touring. We already have two people interested in her car, so we may be cash buyers

Alternativily, we could keep the Mazda for another year (though that might not be a cheap option), sell it and buy something cheap that my son could also learn to drive in or get her 4x4 that could tow a horsebox Choices, choices . . .

Ordered my Mk2 Octi vRS Tdi about 2 hours ago. Can't wait till the end of the month

maybe changing our 52 reg Focus this year, but it won't be new, or anything close.

Mines not due to be changed for another 20 months or so, unless I can do enough miles to justify palming it off on to a lower mileage colleague. However the GF Fester is three in September and currently has no finance on it, the big question is something new and similar (Ibiza) or something a bit older and flasher (Audi A4 2.5 TDi Cabriolet! )

I see you have good taste in cars

A 330d would do me, or a Z4 Choices, Choices

New Ibiza SC, or new Polo possibly! 6 months time possibly!

Nope, vRS only has 76k on it and I won't be getting rid of it as I only want a small car and I don't ,like the new Fabia, so this one is here to stay....at least for the next 2 years.
