right guys I need some opinions on my situation here, have a bit of a dilemma.

 

My car is getting on now and needs timing belt, oil leak fixed and is starting to rust on one arch quite bad. I could fix those problems for a few hundred quid and keep the car or sell it im really not sure, could even fix it then return it partially to standard and let my mum use it.

 

I've been thinking about replacing the civic with a diesel for my daily duties, going to work and it would be so much better for long runs on motorways. And get a faster car for shows and weekends etc im really not sure what to do! I hope this is clear enough for people to have their say on it.

Spend the TLC money mate . .Keep with it .. Every car will have maintenance costs ! And in my experience the maintenance costs of a derv is a lot higher! Arch isnt great, but can be done to a decent standard for not bank braking money !

 

IMO no point having a derv daily and a show/weekend car, the running costs of the two will be considerably higher, meaning less monies on the project ..

 

And unless your getting a new derv, the milage wont be too much better!

 

Just my thoughts ..

Fully understand and have just started doing the same. Got myself what should be a decent and cheap to run diesel, hopefully I can ignore/forget it and save money I'd normally spend on the car towards a deposit for moving out! 

 

Just don't get something so boring you'll chop it in on something more fun, I've made that mistake before with the Jazz! 

 

What would you get as your weekend car if you were in the market to look now?

definitely wouldn't be getting a new diesel and the plan was to always get another car and run 2. That's true at least I know everything that's been done to the civic. but when I go on a long drive on the motorway I would enjoy it much more in a nice quiet diesel.

 

Looking in to something like a mk3 supra, rwd and jap something like that for my next car.
