...To get a great car?
Im not talking about a car thats reliable, Im tlaking about a car that will put a smile on your face even at just the slightest thought?
Say it cost around Ã,£40k Would you remortagage? If you didnt have a mortgage what would you do? Save up and then buy a one?
Start a business? Get a better job?
Ive just been looking at: http://www.tvr-eng.co.uk/overview_sagaris.php
And I love it!
Especially this picture:

I certainly wouldnt mortgage for a car, and I probably wouldnt spend that much on one either.
I tend to be logical on my transport, if it gets me from A to B then thats all you need.
/hypocrisy
OK, I might, if I had lots of money available. I wouldnt just borrow myself into huge debt for one though...
and always take a test drive *before* you talk yourself into buying one, you might just hate it afterwards and it will all be your own fault ;)
So saving up you say.... hmm I can do that.
for me itd be this:

I dunno.. loan probably if i could get one, and id need a better job lol certainly wouldnt mess about with mortgages tho
Id get a bit of debt for a car, as long as i lived near a cool track to thrash it, thatd make me very happy tbh.
ps. that TVR, is the first TVR ive seen that I gave a second look.
Supercars are great and good, but you dont need one to get a grin.
There are any number of used $5K cars, that with tuning, nice rubber, and some spit polish, will make any of us mortals grin--thats if we know how to use a clutch and shifter. ;)
The other question is would you be happy to thrash a car that cost you an arm and a leg? I have seen some peeps spend a lot on a souped up car and then drive it at ridiculously low speed cause they didnt want to damage it.
I would be much happier scooting around in an MX5 than a super car for that issue alone.
nope, if I had a supercar, id have to drive it super fast.
Id love an arial atom. simply because its a cheap souped up go kart thatll rocket me dead fast.
For 40k, taking into account that it has to be reliable too i would pick up a Boxter-S. Great little car.
A bit of spit and polish?

Id go for something that doesnt depreciate much, maybe even get a classic so Im not throwing money away.
Actually, Id get a newish porsche tbh.
See I dont like Porsches that much, I like the image that TVR... Raw power, sounds more fun than "Sat nav and a Ã,£3000 stereo" or some rubbish some porsche dealer would offer me.
NO abs NO traction control NO chance itll run for more than a week at a time ;) lol classic. The TVR rep scares the hell out of me (forever breaking down and killing the drivers).
I like the TVRs, the Sag looks wicked in silver especially.

I wonder if life insurance prices go up when you buy a TVR
should do, all you get is a V8 and a seatbelt lol

you need more?
a friend of mine has just got a Caterham 7. Man thats fun, its like the demented love child of an F1 car and a Land Rover. Cost a lot less than Ã,£40 grand too, though that thar TVR does look nice.
yes lol ABS and airbags
