    Didn't know where to post this, anyway...

    Was just wondering; how long has everyone had their 260 for? Had mine a week & not regretting it. I want to keep it for as long as possible & right now there is nothing out there that remotely interests me as a replacement.

    One year, and today decided to sell.
    The wheels are in motion of getting together all the new spares bought in the last year, listing all the bits added and then selling as a job lot.
    Feel really sad typing this, but commence sense prevails. I will be clocking up a "load" of mileage over the next 12+ months, and the economics just do not equate!

    thats a shame?

    what parts you got to sell as i'm sure there will be parts that i'll be interested in. As for selling as a job lot i think it would be more wise to split as not everyone is going to want everything

    Why should mileage be a problem?

    i've had my car 2 months now and do 35,000+ a year. I got the car converted to LPG (which will pay for itself in 6 months which is handy when greenfuel gave me 6 months %free) and my fuel cost so far has probably been less than it was with my cdti previously!

    OK I stil need to fill it up twice as much, but if you're doing a lot of driving i think it makes sense to have a "drivers car"!

    You know how long I've had mine! What have you got this time?
    Are you definitely keeping this one LOL!

    PS this post is probably confusing because I didn't look at the date of the original post!!
