Would you buy a '13 reg car?

    Am I the only one who'd think twice about buying a car registered in 2013? Or are there a few more superstitious folks like me out there? :o

    Absolutely not.

    I could never afford one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,249 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    Not next year, I'd wait for a year or two and let sweet, wonderful depreciation take about 40% of the purchase value off first.

    Well it'd obviously be a fake for starters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    not for another 9 months at least


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    I imagine there'd be something amiss if you could get your hands on a 2013 car. Doc Brown, that you?

    Hah, Michael Healy Rae was correct all along

    And all of you just dismissed him
    He's a sharp man :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭Tonyandthewhale


    I'd consider it but the fact that I can't drive would probably put me off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    Would it be OK if the number plates all have XIII on them next year?:):):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    I'd buy one second hand in a couple of years. And I'd try to buy it off a superstitious salesman, might get a discount for taking the bad luck off his hands.;)

    No, I'm currently in the process of building a vehicle capable of Alcubierre drive.


    Then I won't need car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    And you just know every car in an accident with this reg will be reported by our retarded media in that context...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Phoenix Park


    I'll buy one. I'll make love in it too!

    Can't wait :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭The Snipe


    It'll be 2020 before I can afford one :P


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    I plan to. Superstition my ar$e!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    Yes, but not until about 2030


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    dont do superstition,

    tempted to request,

    13 KK 1313


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle


    I'd only buy one if my horoscope said it was alright and the cards gave me the all clear. And only if a black cat or a magpie didn't cross me on the way to the dealership.

    And I'd have to read the salesmans aura first. If that was okay I'd buy it.

    Unless it was Friday the 13th. That's just asking for trouble.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Nope I fear odd numbers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,598 ✭✭✭Mal-Adjusted


    as far as superstitions go, it's about two thousand numbers away from unlucky number 13, so why not?








    not that i could afford one.

    I plan to buy one, hoping it'll be a bit cheaper because of silly superstitious people :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I'll buy one in a few years when i can afford it, great value on 5-6 year old cars...;)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    I heard the motor industry want a new number next year instead of 13 because they feel a lot of people wont buy a car with a 13 reg, i know i would not anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    Would you buy a '13 reg car?

    Well I don't need new wheels, but if I did? I'd make sure to buy on the 13th of January at 13.13hrs precisely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    Are people still superstitious? No wonder we can't progress.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle


    a lot of people wont buy a car with a 13 reg, i know i would not anyway.

    Why not? What power does the number 13 have over you?
