Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Who has the legacy? What's road noise like?
The idea of a petrol flat 6 is enticing. I didn't really like diesel, apart from the torque.
Seems 2.5 or 3, but jumped in tax in 2006 for the 3.

But the 5 was quiet and pleasant to do long journeys in., that's my main concern.

@EagleEyez has one!

Look at you, Lord of the Manor with your 3 bike, 3 car stable...

Buy the Alfa above

Got a 3l flat 6 spec b and a 2.5 outback both great in different ways.

3l Legacy is a great cruiser and pulls like a train in the high gears with some revs.

2.5 outback is the hard tail mountain bike of the car world.

It is the thread joke..
Jazz's are cheap enough, and quite a few cat less ones.

Can you still post on this forum no longer being in London ;)

Would say look at protecting the cat on the jazz, and if the baby fiat is going to be sitting for a while oil change, grease the king pins and put the car on stands to stop the wheels flat spotting or at least over inflate the tyres.

Love that you’ve kept hold of the Monoc

I thought I had pressed 'reply' but didn't... So to answer your question, I have never noticed any road noise from neither the current H6 (3.0R spec b) or the old H4 (2.5i SE) I drove for 6 months.

There is a step up in running costs between the 2, and I wouldn't dismiss a 2.5 based on engine cc alone.
Mine (auto) was pulling nicely and was never found wanting (once the brakes had been sorted).

I'm based in SE25. If you want to check it out let me know.

Cheers. Looks right in its element.

@EagleEyez I'm in beckenham so that would be ideal. Thanks.

And I ran a 530d so cant be much worse. I can do some things myself happily.

I'll dm you

Ha trying to keep it simple!

I'm conscious i still need to check if my 58cm road bike will fit in the boot with the seats up, which i will do once I'm over the jet lag of flying home from LA...

But I'm gonna assume it absolutely won't fit unless the seatpost comes out and wheels and mudguards come off

Yeah I think I decided 3s are too small. And a lot more money that a Subaru. So dont sweat it, thanks though.

Flat 6 engined 4 wheel drive scooby wagon would be ace

haha yeah. to the Manor unborn.

Let me know when you are anyway near being up this way dude.

love this bike T. It will still see plenty of miles

A forum fave for me

Could be passing by on Thursday morning next week, or maybe Friday. Will know tomorrow

cool. should be around. switch to mobile comms when you know and I will send you the deets.

Am I going to be fleeced if I sell a car on ebay - What obvious pitfalls should I avoid?

And is it worth doing anything to the car other than a good clean. It needs a service, but otherwise has FSH, and it has 11 months MOT, and new front tyres.

And is Parker's blue book still a thing? It's been decade since I've sold a car for more than scrap.

what is it?

The car? 2013 Golf 1.4 TSI SE 5dr DSG

A common, inconspicuous car. Great for trips down to the thai massage parlour.

Just use webuyanycar or similar? Depends how much hassle you want to have...

I went there, and they offered less that the main dealer offered in part ex.

I don't mind the hassle of selling by myself, but as I've not done it for a long time, just want to make sure I'm not making any obvious mistakes.
