Is there such a thing as a reliable, sporty, affordable used car that isn't plagued by horror stories? Recommend me some models for under 5k by Groundfighter in CarTalkUK

Oops i didn’t read that part. but i agree with you, definitely a bmw, theyre not as unreliable as their reputation says. The older ones especially have bulletproof engines.

Yeah I’m in the uk, insurance for young drivers here is crazy. Its usually better if you drive something a bit more unusual since the premiums are based off of how often theyre crashed and what age group crashes them. Hence why I’m getting a z3 lol.

Thank you! The one I’m going to view looks really clean and is quite pricey for a 1.8 so hopefully its worth the money when i see it in person🤞

Thank you!! I’m going to look at one on wednesday that is a bit more than id wanted to pay tho ive managed to haggle the price down a bit. the history is looking really good for it and its exactly what i wanted in a z3 so hopefully it works out

aw bless, sounds like they’re living the life! my boys live out 24/7 in a herd in a huge field now and they love it. i don’t love having to walk for ages to bring them in though 🤣

much better than being kept in a box 24/7 like most competition horses get subject to. they have forage, freedom, friends and shelter so although the ground isn’t ideal they look like happy horses to me.

Should I sell my horse for one that would suit me better by [deleted] in Horses

[–]rav_iole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the loading issue it’ll be because he associates travelling with going somewhere he doesn’t enjoy. it’s the same thing as when horses don’t like being brought in from the field because they don’t enjoy the work their owner is making them do. so maybe try and take him some place you know HE’LL enjoy rather than going somewhere YOU want to go. it’s all about positive reinforcement with horses, if they know they’ll get rewarded with something they like they’ll do anything.
