Guys.. i find myself in a bit of a spot here.. as of late i have been getting really into my brothers car.. which is a 2013 Suzuki Swift 1.3DDiS (Basically the 1.3 multi jet mk2 engine)
its pretty much all i want in a car.. Diesel.. super cheap insurance and tax and the running costs are a dream for some one like me. my brother is getting 80mpg out of this thing and more since he took the EGR off.
im getting no where near that with Talon.. and the Tax kills me every year.
i have been looking at the more modern panda with the 1.3 multijet mk1 engine in.. you can get them for under £2000 now days. the mk1 multi jet does 10mpg less but its not choked up to the eyeballs with all the damn emission control stuff on it.
as always i am not looking for something pretty. i have and never will care for "street cred".
now umm.. i think Talon would fetch around that price if i was to sell him. i would put him all back to carburettor and he would be exactly the same as the day he left the factory engine wise. i would leave all the bull bars and light grills on him and even include the original doors that need repairing.
the thing is.. i really love Talon. like, he was my childhood dream car... and Fallout is to become one day all what Talon is and more.... i cant afford a modern(er) panda without getting big cash. selling talon would be the most easy way to make that cash. i also would have the issue of having 3 cars.
yes i have done it before with BEX but that was going to be a quick fixup and sell in an attempt to make a little cash. which failed big time as it always does whenever i try to make money.
i can only also afford to have one car on the road at one point in time. insurance is still a killer. if only you could swap it over for free from one car to another whilly nilly.
Talon would be worth the most out of the 2 cars i have. Fallout is just a bit of fun but only worth its money as spares (even though its about road ready)
i really want a super economical diesel car.. and i really have fell in love with the 1.3 multijet.
guys what do i do.. is it time for a change.. what should i do?
i need to think in the long run what is the best thing to do.
