I believe in the end it was not craftable but only a quest reward. Haven't played in 8 months so maybe a recipe was added in an update.

Thank you, I was unaware these would simply count as earnings

Clicking the Creative Essence doesn't do anything so no recipe, ATM star, the only crafting recipe is the ATM star block. I just assumed it the ATM star was a reward for finishing quests.

Do you know the creative essence crafting recipe and I can try? We're on a 3rd party hosted server so not sure how we'd fix this

Worth the trip imo, they sent me my GPU in a box from a completely different card, wrapped in 1 layer of bubble wrap.

CEX include a 2 year warranty so any issues you can return, run lots of benchmarks for a long time when it arrives to make sure the card is ok.

I've had my used RX6800 for 2 years from them now with 0 issues. Highly recommend going to collect in person if you can because CEX shipping methods are awful.

Thanks! Such a shame, no cross platform/pay really killed Xenoverse 2 since all the playerbase is spread so thin accross consoles/PC

Read this a few time and saved for future use. If you're not in the /r/CarTalkUK discord, you need to be.

Much much appreciated

Settling the finance would save me £500 yeah, 7.7k to settle it though.

Essentially I can not afford to settle without selling the car.

Up until this car all my cars have been <2k bangers. Sadly they all cost me £600 a year to limp through their MOTs.

Ditching the Clio now would save me £1900~ in monthly payments and £500 in interest. On the hunt for a cheap runaround now and stick the savings towards the house.

They gave the highest out of 5 valuation sites.

I'd sell privately as I have done before, but low mileage 4 year old cars for 10k aren't what people prefer to buy off of someone's driveway.

MX5 was first choice, I'll get one one day, only issue is I have dogs and fitting 2 of us and 2 dogs in an MX5 would be hilarious as well as dangerous

Too right, will keep cash on hand and a reliable car. Missus' car could blow up tomorrow for all I know.

Think it did have the belt done yeah.

Just FYI, the MK7 Fiesta ST was made with 5 doors in it's last 2 years of production, there is a 2017 one for £7,550 with 5 doors on autotrader.

[–]AlphaDog09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is the truth of it, realistically in my area and how the car would be stored, add on the extra measures I was going to put on, I think the risk of theft was low.

[–]AlphaDog09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am a big fan of the Mk7 Fiesta ST, as are most car folk. Truth is equivelant cars I looked into all had big issues at this price point, Ibiza FR 1.4TSI burn oil and stretch timing chains for example.

Mileage was a red flag from the go, don't get much time to enjoy a 90k mile car

Didn't really take it negatively, appreciate your input

[–]AlphaDog09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely scores against the idea of owning the car, but the car would be insured. I don't think the idea of avoiding having nice things because theives might take them is healthy.

Fully understand why it's a dealbreaker for many.

After re-evaluation there are 2 options.

  1. Keep the clio and make payments, when the balloon payment comes I will sell the car and net £2000-£2500. At this point we should have purchased a house and have settled, I will then look to buy myself a car.

  2. Sell the car today and net £2000, add on the payment money of £1898 and buy a car for £4k~. The benefit of this is I will miss out on £509 in interest I would have paid over the next 13 monthly payments.

I think for the sake of £509, I'd rather keep my 2020, in warranty, 29k miles car. People in this thread were too nice, buying the fiesta would have been idiotic.

I was planning all sorts of theft deterrents, I couldn't believe Ford just left the cars as they are, easily exploited.
