I'm selling the Jazz !
« on: January 23, 2021, 08:21:10 PM »
Long story cut short, I am taking early retirement, so I am treating myself to a mid-life crisis convertible again, I had an Astra Twin Top in the past and I am looking at another convertible.
I will post more info nearer the time of sale, but if anyone is looking for a good condition 2015 HS-T Hybrid, albeit with quite high mileage, let me know.

Best wishes my fellow Adi! You know what's happening at the moment...and when we do go back it's always a risk working with another person in a closed environment. I don't even know what's going to happen in our industry but hopefully I can teach again by Easter.

Do stay in touch and enjoy your retirement. Let us know what convertible you are looking for. I used to love the MK1 Golf Convertible when I was young.

Enjoy the retirement
What about a DB6 Volante.  :)
It will be alright in the end, if it's not alright then it's not the end !

Look after yourself Ozzie,  good luck - for the first couple of years of retirement I often had feelings like I was bunking off school when I was out and about during normal working hours,  it does wear off though.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Thanks everyone!

I'm 90% convinced it will be an Audi A5 that graces the driveway. Theres a local VAG specialist who has been quite helpful on a few enquiries, so thats reassuring. I did fancy a Mercedes E class for a while, but now leaning towards the Audi.

I stopped for Christmas on December 16th, and my dear old Mum died on Dec 21st, she had a good innings and went till she was 91, and worked till she was 88 ! Alas she had Dementia and ended up in a Care Home and contracted Covid, however she has left me a quid or two and leaves me in a position where I can retire a bit early, and Boris introducing another lockdown presented the perfect timing to finish work. Had lockdown not happened I would have gone through to the Summer to finish the driving tests I had booked, but they are now cancelled anyway.

Really sorry to hear about your Mum. Thoughts are with you.

I was reading the other day that 100,000 theory tests are in the process of expiring because of Covid19. Online No10 petition to extend as they did with the MOT.

FYI before you buy an Audi, it would be prudent if you haven't already, to google some well known VAG problems. EA189 Nox fix, TFSi engines timing chains and oil drinkers, and the DSG problems. HTH  :)

Thanks.

My short list was Mercedes E class, BMW 4 series, and the Audi A5. Ford Mustang was dismissed by the Missus early doors. I am no fan of French cars . . . . . any other suggestions??

Sorry about your Mum. No matter 'how good an innings', it's still rotten to lose somebody so close.

If you can afford to retire, and have had enough, then go for it. One thing that life teaches you is that we're not here forever.

I think you're better off with the Audi than the Merc  ;)

How about Volvo S60 or Vauxhall Insignia?
