But I think it'll be happy with belts and a service for now :D

[dvid]

1). Look at it lovingly

2). Regret paying £8995 from MG High Wycombe in Dec 2008 as it is now worth half that if I'm lucky

3). Accept that I will have to keep it forever or take a big loss

4). Maybe refurb wheels

[arwilson80]

Now i may have a to-do list...

New springs or shocks (see other thread). :(

[ThumpJunkie]

2). Regret paying £8995 from MG High Wycombe in Dec 2008 as it is now worth half that if I'm lucky
The future is not so bright!!! :crazy:

I'd be happy with a new steering wheel and some red interior bulbs right now TBH. Will get the rally bumper back on after Christmas :)

[Glen290]

1 Get it back from the garage
2 take it to my local garage for a service
3 fit some new brakes
4 paint the black section on my bumper again

I'm sure if you don't buy it in Dec 2008 you will be fine ;)

Now if you had bought one in Dec 2007 then it was alot of money indeed, but I'm sure you knew what you were buying seeing that there was no dealership support for that price? Like many we see something we like all sense goes out the window!


At the end of the day, are you happy with it? If so then what it cost and what it is worth doesn't matter. Mine was not cheap when first bought, but that was 3.5 years ago, today it is practically worthless, but I don't care as I love it to bits :D

[Zippy Saloon]

Short list for me:

1. Enjoy
2. Get dent on rear door fixed - dickhead neighbour let van door swing open on it a few years ago
3. Consider having bonnet & front bumper sprayed in a year or two (due to stone chips)

[dvid]

Ooops meant 2007

I do really like it and I dont care about how much I paid for it, but with hind sight I wish I had bought something different (or an older one to avoid the tax sting)

[Zippy Saloon]

an older one to avoid the tax stingIf the govt manages to bring in the new tax bands, where people are being charged for a decision they made years ago, whats to stop them changing the cut-off date in future - a car thats "safe" now may not be in 2 years time.

Though TBH we should have car tax riots like the poll tax ones til they reverse the decision!

[Parkie]

1. coilovers
2. powerflex bushes
3. new track control arms
4.Start Project VVC and see alot of money dissepear or sell it and move on! maybe to zs 180

[tb steve]

major service belts etc etc
