Talk me out of it....

Post by Hilly81 »

So I'm thinking of selling my B7. I don't want to. I have only had it since March and I love it. But. We are now in a position to buy a house which is a big thing for the wife. She hates renting. Mortgage agreed. Deposit saved. But in my opinion we are still a few k short. I don't want to move and wipe out all our savings and be skint. I don't use the car in the week hardly at all so it does seem a bit of a waste being sat on the drive all the time. So I'm thinking of selling the car. Spending half ish on a replacement and banking the rest.

It needs to be big. 3 kids. That's why I bought the estate. I would prefer diesel as although I don't do big miles the trips I do are long. So far I have looked at:

2005 320d Touring with 81k
2009 Insignia 2.0 CDTI Exclusive with 79k
2009 Octavia 2.0 PD with 90k
And the wildcard, 2008 Alfa 159 Wagon 1.9 JTDM with 97k

All with plenty of history. The Alfa looks to have an enthusiast as an owner.

Talk me out of buying one of these (or something similar) and telling the wife she needs to wait for her house......
