New car for mrs cyrus?
-
02-02-2010 4:13pm#1Lads,
missus cyrus is looking for a new car, she bought a pug 206 to learn in about 2.5 years ago and she has had her fill of it!
Budget will be around 10k + whatever she would be allowed for the 206 (im assuming 1k).
She likes the alfa GT, beacon had a nice one but its gone, she also like minis (but is a little reluctant to get one as she reckons they are a bit 'obvious'
).
In summary, she is looking for something sporty looking, 3 door, no bigger than 2 litre, solid, and relatively reliable, inexpensive to run.
Any recommendations?
PS trades in are preferable unless the private sale is less than 10k and dealers in dublin are preferable too!0

Does teh 206 qualify for scrappage?
You can pick this up for 10,495 on the road if so... (excluding the alloys/italian strip)
its a 01 so no, and for some reason she hates the 500 :rolleyes:Audi TT quattro 225? Plenty sporty looks and still only 1.8 for tax
she doesnt like the old tt neither i dont think0 -

Is she like her husband, or would she consider Japanese cars?
RX-8, MX-5, S2000?
Figaro :eek:
German:
SLK200K too old?
Smart Roadster too young?
Did she drive a MINI yet? I'd say driving a cooper S would have her hooked My ads on adverts.ie

....jeez, I dunno, don't go rushing in to a commitment with someone so fickle they can't appreciate the 500..........the 500, at least you could sell on..........:p*

bit of a wildcard, but cheap, cheap parts and reliable. Looks decent as well.

You might get something like this close to your budget with the 206:

Audi S3??
http://www.carzone.ie/search/Audi/S3/225-BHP-/200951196224067/advert?channel=CARS
At A stretch you might get the OPC astra, bit of hard bargaining
http://www.carzone.ie/search/Opel/Astra/2.0I-16V/201004196721392/advert?channel=CARS0
but not sure if she would go for one, anyway it seems to be out of budget
