£2200 for fastening 10 bolts

I haven't seen the opposition, but I find that choice really surprising. Nice red colour, though. Until it fades like their stupid badges do. Those clowns can't even manage to produce a badge that doesnt fade. |

Anyone who knows anything about cars will be pointing and laughing at how stupid you were to buy it. They all have poxy Audis, Jags, Range Rovers and X5s - common as muck. But nothing like as much of a rat hole for your money. |

No - it will not cost me a penny as I am going to use the 159 to commute to my new £25000 job and leave the Giulia at home under a car cover. It will literally be as good as new forever - well, until I die in 2045, obviously. |

No - it will not cost me a penny Bet it costs you tens of thousands, just like the 159 did, unless you are actually stupid enough to not pay for the electricity you have used and they grab it and sell it to pay for the electricity you have used. as I am going to use the 159 to commute to my new £25000 job and leave the Giulia at home under a car cover. Stupid to be paying £30000 + interest for a blob under a car cover that just blocks the driveway. It will literally be as good as new forever Not a chance given that its ****ed by design, just like the 159 was. - well, until I die in 2045, obviously. Even sillier than you usually manage. |

Maybe if you pay it off quick No point in doing that. The land was actually direct from the govt with the option of paying cash for it or paying it off at a very low interest rate. I wasn't stupid enough to pay cash for it, I was earning much more on that cash in the mining boom than I was paying. In fact that $3650 that the land cost is now worth more than $150K and it saves the bother of moving house later when you can afford it. Not clear what this is about ? But not for an Alfa. Not for any new car in fact. But that is a separate matter to whether, once you have decided to buy a new car, whether it can make sense to borrow that money if you are earning more than you are paying in interest with interest rates so low. |

Kwikfit bodged a suspension repair which trashed my power steering rack and pump 24 hours before my ferry was due - my man sorted it with 5 hours to spare. WTF did you use Kwikfit for? I had a £30 off coupon there and the shagged steering rack costs me £900 - a bad deal. |

I bought one elsewhere). -- What do you call an aerobics instructor who doesn't cause pain & agony? Unemployed. |
