Last few days as a scooby owner!
As title really Deposit taken for my WRX to be picked up Saturday afternoon. However this leaves me with decisions to make, help would be appreciated.
1. Buy a cheap diesel Zafira for cheap running costs and practicality.
2. Put all the money into my engine build, cycle to work, have no car.
3. Get a small loan, Buy a TypeR, delay engine build until loan is paid off.
What would you do?

How far is your commute? Option 2 would be my choice if not too far & providing you dont need a vehicle for work (meetings etc).
Is there a public transport option?
Why did you decided to sell your WRX? To save monies?

My biggest worry is that TypeR's are low in price at the moment, but may shoot up by the time I can afford one again.
go get one!

If the aim is to save money for a rebuild I would definately use your bike or walk or public transport as long as you have a car expense has to come into it regardless what car you buy.fuel cost,maintenance,insurance,mot,tax and that's not even taking into account if something goes wrong with it.my wife has been saving for mods for her car so she covered it up and sorned it untill next year when she will have enough money to finish it off properly,some sacrifices are worth doing.

sorry but i'm a little confused about the logic behind your car choices, zafira, voyjer or type r
all gas guzlers and generally expensive to run, high tax insurance and not cheap parts.
if it's A to B and work you need just buy a £300 rover 25 or some other banger that costs next to nowt, my rover 1.4 averages around 45mpg and use the bike when the weather is ok to keep costs down, no fun riding a push bike when it's raining and freezing.
loan is a bad idea and costs too much.
