Looking through the last few pages most stuff would suit that other thread, and alot more of it if we went back further... I think it's just our dislike of overpriced Carina's :P

Who's bright idea was it to split the threads?

Should've just called this one the 7-Series-onomics car of the week/day.

And now you're just going to have both threads filling up with moaners saying that such a car should really be in the OTHER thread... who gives a sh1t ffs!

It was I was VB's idea to start the parallel thread. It was my idea to rename the threads so people wouldn't get confused.
If it doesn't work, we'll merge them again. If it does work, happy days.

Follow the thread you like, unfollow the other (if you want). Simples!

Why has the seller added a month to both the tax and the NCT?

I'd say it is because tax and NCT are until the end of the month??

Yes, but we all know that by convention right?

Any of the 728i's I or any of the regulars have ever linked have been in better nic than any of the battered Carina's you've linked, and they all have NCT's

Plus the fact anyone who has a 728i will mind it like their house, unlike Johno coming home from the pub for 15 years scraping off every ditch on the way home in his one owner car

Yup, a Carina can take 15 years of hockeying down country roads after a pub closeing, driving across ploughed fields, go around the world 12 times and still be in serviceable condition. Whereas a Bimmer or E200 from the same generation wouldnt stand up to such treatment.

Lets get back on track, this is getting boring.

Or this, which is newer, with test,

See, no one in their right mind would link that one you linked because it's not fitting, it's just overpriced like many other cars. Even you should know that through your carina tinted glasses

Nice colour combo on that, very seldom ya see a green car with green leather. Though that contraption in the boot would put me off, straight out of page 879 of the argos book.

This thread isn't, but you questioned why I might call buying a cheap old luxury car "bangernomics", and I explained why. Apart from the tax and fuel costs, it's exactly the same principle as this thread. Is it about the cheapest possible way of getting from A to B? No, as I've said more than once already. But it can still be cheaper in the long run than getting a new car that depreciates. That's why some people might consider it bangernomics, and that's why I made the point.

First of all I did not question why you were calling buying old luxury cars bangernomics. You said that bangernomics can be anything you want it to be. When you said this it didn't make any sense and it still doesn't now. Bangernomics is getting to a to b as cheaply as possible and when it breaks down you get rid or possibly getting rid just before it does. Luxury or style does not come into it. If you want to buy an old barge and run it instead of a new car to save money then that is your business and fair play. It is however not bangernomics and cannot be called bangernomics just because you feel bangernomics is what ever you want it to be. You will have to find another name for it.

It's what we've called Bangernomics for a long time now, I don't a "dictionary" definition is coming into it.

Plus, of course looks and personal taste comes into it.
