Went for a few snaps with the ducks and got questioned off an old man as to why I was taking pictures on my car LOL

Harper said:It's a hard choice and probably dependent on how much of the work you can do yourself. Do you have the time and ability? If yes then perhaps better the devil you know but if no...would the repairs cost more than the car's worth?
If I remember correctly it's the 1.2 in which case it may be a good looking car but is probably quite slow. You could p/x and get something with a bit more oomph if that's of interest to you
Ckem247 said:Thanks for the advice , I could Probally do a bit of the work myself, and I have mechanic mates that could take some jobs as homers, and your correct it is a 1.2 just looking into got diesels ie mk4 golf gt tdi, fabia vrs and the 1.9 gp, but it's insurance I need to watch for being 18, so ATM keeping this is my best option but only time will tell
mr bump said:P/x to auto point lol mate
Harper said:Don't always assume insurance will be expensive on higher powered cars. Ok, yes the ones you have listed will cost more as they are very much in favour but there's others out there that may surprise you especially if they're not your usual my-first-car or boy racer choice and if they're cheap to fix. My 17 year old nephew found it cheaper to insure a 1.6 petrol 5-door focus than a 1.3 petrol 3-door fiesta. He acknowledges it's not the coolest car in the world but it's a means to an end and eventually he wants either an RS Turbo or XR2i (ST if he really has to compromise View attachment 3797)
Going back to your current dilemma though, cost the repairs and compare with what you'll get in p/x and what it'll cost you extra in insurance if you buy what you've listed above. Then go with your gut as that's what really matters
