Downsizing the missus's car to pay off some mortgage
As part of the agreement for buying the new house, the missus agreed to sell her much loved Beemer & have a small car to allow me to pay £10K off the mortgage. So today I just bought her one of these
 :- List price of £7,995, with Peugeot offering £1000 off, then after much haggling & getting a Manager involved another £200 , so got the car for £6,795 in the end  Not bad for a car with Aircon, Electric windows, remote central locking , CD player with MP3 connection etc etc, plus does 60mpg , plus no worries for 3 years due to warranty, no MOT's etc  This car costs less than I paid for my Motorbike last year  They do a "Lite" version without Aircon, leccy windows , c/l & few other bits & I've found a dealer willing to do it for £5,495 .....for a brand new car !!!!!!  Got to sell my car as well now  Mortgages ....who wants em

My girlfriend has an Aygo which is pretty much the same car. Great fun screaming past BMWs and the like

Re: Downsizing the missus's car to pay off some mortgage
Preferred the look of the Toyota Aygo, but was quite a bit more money. My understanding is the Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 & Citroen C1 are 80% the same car , with the original being produced by Toyota thank god
At least I know it will be reliable  |

Re: Downsizing the missus's car to pay off some mortgage
Forgot to say we test drove the sport version which had 2 great bigred stripes down the bodywork, front spoiler & twin central sports exhausts
   Great fun , but a bit too garish for the missus, but the amazing thing was, with the sports exhaust & 3 cylinder engine , it sounded like a sized down Porsche 911 !!! Seriously ..... I was cracking up, accelerating as hard as I could everywhere to hear this sound . When I mentioned it to the Dealer he stated the sound goes after about 700 miles of running the engine in ..... shame, I quite liked it |
