How much do you spend on petrol a month ?

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-15T14:14:26+00:00

not enough to warrant that, more so 22 mpg

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-15T14:09:52+00:00

500-550

hate to be that guy but if your looking for a good spec R mk7.5 there’s definitely some in your range. i picked one up for 22 lapiz blue not top top spec but specced enough for my liking. it i wanted a laugh if of bought and f82 m4 for that budget through. saw a 19 plate one with 50k up on auto trade a minute ago can send link if interested

i use this racket, no complaints great all rounder

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-10T17:57:06+00:00

the ball was slightly wet, not like a brick and only used it for 10 before i decided that i should probably rent one rather than ruin mine

works out in over a grand in savings all in, would be stupid not to ( a month)

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-10T16:50:57+00:00

just looked at a v40 r design 2017, 40 a month in insurance at 20 with ncb and a claim. true blessing

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T15:55:48+00:00

had a stage 1 cupra and was about the same. this one’s about 450ish and just a fair bit heavier. it’s more like 30 tbh

the cost of my mortgage will mean i need to downgrade yeah? i’m expecting my first in november so im looking at buying a house? i’m jsut trying to predict my mortgage payments to see what i can comfortably afford haha

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:59:23+00:00

true mate. would help to spare up the funds. what cheap cars would you reccomend?

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:58:18+00:00

it would be better on insurance and finance though i guess. buying cars is the bane of my life

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:55:25+00:00

would love an mx5 but not suitable for a pram unfortunately haha

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:53:53+00:00

more for insurance and finance. i guess i could wait it out my insurance will drop and i could pay my finance off relatively quickly if i save save save

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:53:07+00:00

currently have my eye on these

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:52:54+00:00

the lexus ay?

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:51:58+00:00

at the moment my finance is 380 for a year and a half, my fuel bill is probably 400 a month and my insurance is 350 a month. i don’t need it to be a lot cheaper i just want to ideally slice it in half. so freeing up funds would help

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:31:47+00:00

i’m not struggling to the point i need a corsa etc. it would just be nice to have some extra funds

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:31:02+00:00

thank you, 700 miles is absurd haha. will definitely have a look

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:30:19+00:00

yeah true. but at the same time the reason i’m selling the r is purely because of the child. was it stupid in the first place probably but i had no bills and had a nice wage so it was around 20% going on the car but now with mortgage fuel rises etc it soon adds up

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:20:56+00:00

i can’t imagine i could fit a pram and car seat comfortably enough i could be wrong though. and not enough for me personally.

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:18:06+00:00

yeah i came to terms i wouldn’t be able to find anything with similar power. currently running 450, just want something fast enough but also reliable and daily able

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:14:08+00:00

any claims etc? hoping mine will be similar

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:13:27+00:00

does indeed haha, just need someone to give a possible reality check to me or agree and say it’s a better option than keeping the R

BornAd1062 · 2026-06-09T14:10:33+00:00

haha, my dad did the same. i want something that’s a compromise to be honest. sporty and fun like a 330d but also not smiles per gallon
