I have an old car and it guzzles gas..gets 30mpg on a 60mph run at best but is a vintage 2.0L 3 speed auto and
round town the MPG is diabolical. It has MOT but is 22 years old. It does not have any rust and drives fine.
I will need £300.00 worth of tyres within 18 months or so, and so the lack of economy starts to add up.
So come Feb/March next year I will most likely scrap as this is when insurance is due. It would only get £250.00 on ebay I suspect less fees .
(£150.00 scrap)
Quite sad about it really as it as a reliable comfortable car (MkI Chrysler Neon my dad gave to me). But it is not making economical sense. It is costing £1,100.00 a year with MOT/insurance/Tax/self servicing and petrol. Pops does not want it back either.
So I calculate (best laid plans and all) if the Bongo runs ok for 2 years then we save £2,200.00 for the Bongo repair kitty.
You know I look after the Bongo well and I am a sympathetic Bongo driver, I don't drive it like a sports car etc. But any thoughts
on the economies running consideration etc. of a Bongo as a sole vehicle that I may have missed would be of interested. Quite sad
but it is a lot of money for a petrol guzzler each year.
I have always loved older cars and keep em tidy, serviced, but owning 2 is no longer viable economically.
