Comments:
<0> K_F: I've never borrowed for a car.
<1> whyzzyrd: entirely my point.
<2> Jostein, yeah. I am glad I got rid of my Rio
<3> whyzzyrd: but big difference between EU and US on that area it seems
<0> K_F: My galant, I bought cash, and the wife's ZX, I was given.
<4> my sister has a yello Protege 5
<2> i've had absolutely no problems with my Focus since I bought it
<3> yeah, I bought mine cash as well
<4> s/lo/low/
<1> just because a crap manufacturer is absorbed by a more reputable entity, it doesn't make their crap products any better at all.
<2> I bought a 92 Escort GT in 04. it only lasted a month.
<2> I paid 700 cash for it.
<4> Derek: sad.
<0> K_F: there's plenty of people will finance new cars here, but the loss on them if you re-sell them (as most people seem to do) after 2 years, is amazing.
<3> cappicard: hehe, my 2003 a6 was 51k used
<2> yeah. it served its purppse
<5> gidday
<2> K_F, damn. :)
<6> cappicard: didn't like the 10k rpm shifts ?
<4> wishes :)
<0> cappicard: You blew the engine?
<3> whyzzyrd: yeah, I could get a car loan in my bank, but hell if I would want it
<5> Tamahome, :D
<3> whyzzyrd: if I can't pay for a car I don't want it..
<2> noxo, the linkage in the tranny broke
<2> er-no
<7> hello all.
<2> damn ****ing nick completion
<5> car yards charge twice what they are worth most times, my van i paid $10k is prolly only worth 5-7k
<3> cappicard: I just love the gps nav on the thing
<4> nick-complete wusses
<2> K_F, :D
<5> (though it was required immediatly at the time so worth the extra to us)
<0> K_F: My Galant's 1999, and I got it with 62k miles on. I have now got 117k on it. in 2 years.
<2> whitecap, it shifted pretty nicely for a 5-speed.
<2> the linkage didn't last very long
<7> Ta<Tab> Yeah, right
<5> haha
<4> Viking: wuss :P
<5> ^5 Viking667 :)
<2> Heh, the last 3 cars of mine have been sticks (including my Focus)
<3> I actually have an automatic now
<5> i wanted an auto (for once) when i got the van
<3> the one I borrowed from my parents before was a stick
<0> K_F: I'll have to replace it in about another 18 months or so, but it was damn cheap.
<4> are manuals cheaper than automatics?
<0> Tamahome: jup[
<2> yeah.
<3> hmm, my kid brother got his new car the other day, VW Golf
<8> I'm happy as long as my good old trustworthy saab works as it should..
<0> Tamahome: and they tend to go wrong less often.
<2> if I wanted an auto, my focus would have jumped in price by 800-1000
<8> Still one of the worlds most safest cars even if it's a 1983
<4> ehp, dinner is ready
<0> now. I'm off to bed, I need to be up in the morning.
<2> I can get almost 400 miles on one tank of gas
<4> later dude
<3> cappicard: IIRC originally adding auto and cruice control on the car I have now was 4100 USD
<3> (I know the former owner... quite well really)
<2> wow
<3> well, the former user, the owner was a liesing company
<9> heh
<2> I like this focus. I usually drive 50 miles a day round trip
<2> and that's just to/from work
<8> whyzzyrd: that's a pda.. or mobilephone..
<2> least gas's been steady at 2.50/gallon
<5> i got auto purely because we got it for long haul trips
<0> Bjprn-: no, they've got bright screens, and have noticable movement for typing etc.
<0> anyway
<5> (easier to cruise and drink coffee)
<3> cappicard: 2.3 a liter here :)
<3> well, 2.2 ..
<2> USD or UKP?
<3> usd
<2> ah.
<2> wow, that's abit steep
<3> 130% tax on it
<2> eek!
<2> and I thought our tax on gas was bad enough.
<3> well, that includes the 25% VAT
<2> about 40% of the price in the States is tax
<3> that number would be closer to 80% here
<3> 77 or so
<2> it takes me almost $30 to fill my tank.
<3> I filled for 82 earlier today
<3> a full tank is ~ 120
<2> damn
<9> ok. I hate previews of the next eps on tv shows
<9> now I have to watch another episode :P
<3> Jostein: hehe
<10> haha awesome http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6880888700625496919
<2> how big is your a6's tank? Mine's about 12 gallons
<5> hehe costs me $80 to fill my tank
<5> thats 50 ltrs i think
<3> cappicard: about 16 gallons
<2> ah
<3> 60 liters
<3> + some spare
<3> Quattro, so uses 0.8 - 1l per 10km
<8> What's the weight of it?
<5> ouch
<3> very good question
<5> K_F, thats expensive
<3> the part of the license I have here does't have it... the part that is in the car probably does
<5> i get about 600km per tank
<5> thats about 12km per ltr
<3> hmm, let me check the net
<3> gotta love the DMV having an internet interface
<8> 2.26 KG
<8> K_F: don't need to check
<3> I wonder if 1800-2000kg would be way off
<3> hmm, actually I will check
<3> have a copy of the license here
<3> Bjprn-: 1640 kg own weight
<8> eh, wrong answer from me
<8> that's the 2006 models weight
<8> as heavy as my saab then
<8> about 1l per 10 km
<5> lol RelDrgn
<5> thats cool
<3> Bjprn-: about 0.88 when I'm in Oslo
<3> well, depends if using winter or summer tires
<3> driving longer stretches it is down to ~ 0.7 (summer tires)
<8> the 1l /10 km is a gross estimate.. i don't drive that much that i would care..
<3> Bjprn-: car computer keeps track of it for me
<8> ooh
<8> luxury ride
<6> hehe, i get about 1/3 that gas milage
<3> Bjprn-: yeah, I like it :)
<3> the GPS nav has saved me some times already
<6> fortunately my comute is less than 1 mile
<3> whitecap: is it worth driving at all then?
<3> hmm, you probably don't
<6> K_F: in oregon? yes, most of the time
<3> really?
<3> I generally walk to school
<6> K_F: coming up on the time i ride my bicycle
<3> 200 parking spots for 8000 students
<3> at the school facility anyways, there is private parking around
<3> s/is/are/
<6> K_F: not fun starting a full workday sopping wet
<3> heard of an umbrella?
<3> :)
