downzy Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd love a Tesla....could be realistic in a few years, once the technology becomes less expensive to produce and they come down in price some.There's rumours of a $30-$35k model coming out in the next year or so. However, just read that Tesla loses $4k on every car they sell. You'd think they'd just up the price by $5k. Those who can afford them likely wouldn't bristle at an extra $5k or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want an electric car, I NEED an electric car!Explain that to me again?Electric power equals no emissions from the exhaust, only during the build. Therefore I did 80 miles for about £1.60 The car also charges the battery when slowing or going downhill, so free eergy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) the TR7is a shit car, 70's80's british motoring at its finest.I actually saw that make & model as the one I posted parked near The British Museum at 1am as I was walking along to catch my bus which is on diversion atm.Correct badges and shape and everything, parked in London... I stopped, quickly checked it out as I had recognised it from the photograph and... walked on.I have yet laid eyes on that gold plated Ferrari but I do see them around not gold plated.

Snake-Pit Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114315623/peugeot-305-1987-rare-car.htmlDetails Advertiser Type Private Price: £500 Updated: Yesterday Make: peugeot Model: 305 gr estate Era: 1980s Engine Size: 1600 cc Fuel: Petrol Gearbox: Manual Body Type: Estate Doors: 5 Colour: blue Mileage: 225000 miles Registration Number:Descriptionvery rare peugeot 305 estate mot until 24th august 2016 no advisory. I have owned this car since 1989 and has been a good workhorse taking me everywhere, I am selling as my wife passed away last march and I have lost enthusiasm in renovation as we bought the car together. it has 225,000 miles on the clock and still runs ok I have regularly serviced and fitted new cambelts myself new cluch fitted last year. the car is sound but needs bodywork repair and respray. it is a good old classic as not many left I was going to repair and respray to take to classic car shows but have lost interest since my wife passed away.good car for someone interested in older car restoration as I say runs and drives ok just bodywork needs attention.Paint this thing silver, make it look like a car I knew as a child and remember liking because the seats were real comfy.Downside:These cars USED to be big, but here's one parked next to a Ford FocusBut for £500, where can I go wrong?
