rogerthecabbyboy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 been offered my mum's focus auto 2004 1.6 for my birthday, on the basis that i keep it. its spanking immaculate. now i'm torn between that and my cabby. i can't keep both as i don't have the space, or money to keep two cars. what would you choose? sell the cabby take the focus, or keep the cabby and say thanks but no thanks.i'm torn!! like i said i can't sell the focus for something else before anyone suggests it, or at least not for quite a while yet!

rogerthecabbyboy Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 its the auto part that puts me off other than that its a nice motor in that nice met grey colour.i'm just finding it hard to justify keeping the cab, especially when i could sell it and pay a large chunk off my debts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 1.6 automatic....no thanks. pics of the cabby tho? the focus will certainly be more refined...but depending on how good the cabby is.. if its a mk6 cabby in good nick i'd say no,a mk5 dog cabnby id say yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sell the escort, pay off a chunk of horrible debts, accept the freebie focus, drive it until you think its been an acceptable amount of time until you can sell it, then get a manual, job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwwd Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The cabby looks nice mate! The sensible thing to do is take the Focus if it will help with your debts, but you'll regret selling the Escort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Terrible car... I'd rather have a Lada! Plus most of the drivers seem to think they are quicker than anything on the road... "look what this 'S' button does! makes warp factor 9!"... No! delays the gear changes to make you think your going faster when in fact your just using more fuel!
