Mrs gets the mechanical check back on her potential new car today. If it passes she'll probably be picking it up tonight. Told her this is it though. If I'm back on carsales again within the next 4 years i'll lose my mind. Her new-to-her car will be the 6th car we've "owned" in the last 2 years. I'm absolutely over it.
What was wrong with the other cars?
Car 1 too small for Baby and occasionally tried to kill her. Car 2 Mazda Diesel. Just dont ever, trust me. Occasionally tried to kill me and our baby. Car 3 (my car) sold to pay off the debt of car 2. Sadly missed. Car 4 (my new car) SUV, the only one we still have. Car 5 her work car, but she resigned (which she hated, both the car and the job).
Oh man, what a pain. Good luck!!!
And +1 about the Mazda diesels... good friend who is a mechanic also says to avoid them like the PLAGUE.
Exact opposite of the petrols, which are rock solid (and having owned five, including two that went north of 300k before replacement and my current daily at 120k, I can confirm).
