Bro's 1st car, what would you buy?

[Andy]

I am with my car, sort of

Bro wants a new car and has a fair amount set aside to spend on it, fair play tbh. Lucky bastard. lol

[Andy]

Bro bought a brand new car last night then...

Mitsubishi Colt CZ2 3 door in Atlantis Blue.

£8999 as standard, but my bro paid £9177 with the following extras included...

Gap insurance: £295
Metallic paint: £325
Tax: £165
3 years servicing: £150
Supaguard: £249
Interior mats: £22

Pic of the colour:


Test drove a 1.1 too and felt really sluggish in 2nd up towards 40mph, 1.3 got to 40 quite easily in 3rd.

Great first car, the jammy coont lol

Well the back end's ok...

[Dave]

Erm, its different. Wouldnt be my choice though.

[Andy]

Mine either, I know what I'd rather spend 9k on.

Still a nice car though, and he'll be the first owner. 3 years warranty & servicing etc makes it a great deal IMO... although I'd have had it in gunmetal grey, personally.

[Tris]

Wouldn't have bought a brand new car tbh

Would've got a year or two old one, or something

[Andy]

Well,

That was the plan originally and it nearly happened, but the one we went to look at (the perfect spec, in grey too) had scratches all over it and a fag burn in the back. Plus it was only an extra £1200 for a brand new car, that's if you factor in servicing costs for the 2nd hand one.

He'll be keeping it for a few years I should imagine anyway, won't lose a massive amount of money - over the first year at least. The other one was just over a year old, in average condition and still up for 7k. So meh.

The colour is cool though, never seen one that colour before etc
