Farewell, sweet princess

2001 Seat Arosa
I've made the decision I hoped I'd never have to make: I'm selling my car.

A 2001 Seat Arosa 1.4 TDi, she was the ideal small car with the impressive combination of 65 miles to the gallon (and more) while doing 0-60 in under 10 seconds. But alas, these things cost money and the loan I took out to buy her just over a year ago is crippling my finances.

She'll probably be replaced with an older equivalent - probably a Peugeot 106 cos those things still do good mileage but they're available at under £1,000. I'm distraught at the prospect of losing her, but I can't keep racking up credit card debts.

Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you can get yourself a bargain to replace the Peugeot.

Have you ever been to a car auction? They're ace and you can pick up some bargains if you're careful.

p.s. debt sucks. I'm in the same boat, mate.
