should i buy another?

Post by p1RATE » 22 Oct 2010 01:28 am

i was just driving home from dropping off a friend and by the side of the road i spotted a 340 with an peice of A4 in the window. So i instantly pulled over with my girlfiend wondering what on earth was happening :P

Anyway its a pretty tidy looking 340 4dr 1.7 with 60k on the clock in blue. ive got the number and i think im going to end up buying my 3rd 300 :P. it up for £395, MOT untill june and taxed untill the end of the month.
the trouble is now, i have to convince myself i can add another car to my fleet of 3 mercs.

is this a bad idea? sm6

Nahh just think you might have to pay for 6 months tax, so that's £495. It's a Volvo so it will never break down :wink:

Srsly though, make sure you check it runs right before you buy, run it up to temperature and several drives around the block etc.
