not selling car anymore im upgrading it

[tonner_notts]

after being told i wont be off work long im going to treat myself and upgrade the car,
lookin at 135r or 111s which would people choose? the 1200quid a year on tyres is abit scary on the 135r though.
also anyone know of any good finance deals going on

if you intend on a lot of track use - 135R

road use - 111S with aircon....

[tonner_notts]

it will be an everyday car and i love the oz alloys but the price of the tyres is scary is there an alternative tyre? whats the differences in 111s and 135r

[bogie]

www.elises.co.uk for model spec - basically the 111S has 156bhp VVC engine, slightly longer gearbox and aircon/leccy windows (generally) ...the 135R is a modded non-VVC K with 135bhp ish, Lotus Sport suspension and the OZ wheels ...you can always fit the wheels to a 111S later ....alternative tyres for road use - well I run A39 in the winter...but just as expensive as A48 - you could also put toyos on or such like at half the price

the LSS is a little firm for daily use and not as good as a std car down a bumpy B road IMO...

I thought you had an S1?

Dont worry by all accounts last week sounded like he'd loose his leg and have to sell the S1. Now hes upgrading.Tonner did you hit your head when you fell off the roof aswell.

i was worried id need surgery but been to doctors its just strained ligaments physio and ill be ok apparently. he said its normal for swellin and not being able to walk to good or bend the knee for the first cpl of weeks or so. so with the good news of returning to work sooner than i hoped i thought id treat myself for the summer, and go from the s1 to s2 just trying to weigh up if the extra money for a 135r or 111s is worth it, tempted by a 135r but as an everyday car ive heard the 111s will be better

Hey Im glad your ok I was pulling your leg (sorry) but I was a little confused. One min doom and gloom bust leg selling the next waltons mountain everyones happy and your upgrading. I think you may have gone off prematurely last week i guess you were just thinking out loud eh.

[tonner_notts]

when i knew id done leg thought it was worse than it is, i thought id sell the car and then when im ok buy an s2 but seems as im ok thats what im gona do now, lookin at a 135r tomorrow 19k 03 plate for 16999 which is a good price so hopefully they give me a good px price for mine,
how much do you guys haggle over cars? when is it you know a dealer cant match what you want etc?
