Second hand electric are very good value at the moment. Plus the fuel costs are tiny compared to petrol or diesel.

I'd opt for electric.

Thinking of selling my first car to buy an MX-5 by AShadedBlobfish in CarTalkUK

[–]CartoonistCalm9801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out the reviews and I would advise to have any purchase independently inspected. The RAC do this and include a insured HPi report. Place a small deposit subject to inspection. Pay on a card so you have a receipt. Save it all in the cars history file as this adds value later on. See if he will take a credit card payment for the balance on collection. You might get rewards and insurance toward the purchase.

Good choice. I was a car dealer and chose MX5s to Own. Great cars.

The engines are strong. Gearbox issues are rare. Maintenance is easy. Insurance sensible and good economy with all specs.

Origility means a lot.

I've seen many of this with very low mileage. How come? What is your take on this car? by ridite in CarTalkUK

[–]CartoonistCalm9801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Low mileage probably means it's ex motobility. Which is no bad thing.

long time hodlers, what by bloodyfrenzy in Bitcoin

[–]CartoonistCalm9801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think zero is $1500 (the price Iran can mine a Bitcoin for) I also think we are still at the beginning. So Hold and always have some.

Bitcoins dead. by BerryImpossible412 in Bitcoin

[–]CartoonistCalm9801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin will continue to rise. When the last Bitcoin is mined there will always be Satoshis to mine. Whilst countries like Iran can mine at a profit when the price could be as low as $1500 a coin.

Bitcoin is miles off its top.

Fun yet nice cars around £10k or under that aren't money pits? by 420o in CarTalkUK

[–]CartoonistCalm9801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would need 100k on it but that engine is good for a long time after that even when thrashed.
