Default To trade in or not!!

Im really tempted to trade in or sell my zt for an Alfa Romeo 159 but i think i would feel really guilty as i love the zt but she starting to feel her age now and getting niggly problems. Maybe I just need to show her some love to convince me to keep her a bit longer! Anyome else get the urge for a change of car?

I have but only as mine got written off.
Personally trading it in probably won't get you a lot & a private sale may be better & get you more or why not keep the zt for occasional use?

Get the exhaust fixed then!

If you think that an Alfa 159, or any other car for that matter, won't have "niggly problems", dream on!

Regularly - even did it a couple of times.

I regretted selling my moonstone before it had even left my road.

I regretted selling my MG within a week.

I even regretted giving away my problem child (a 1.8 facelift tourer) to my brother just as soon as I saw him driving it.

Cars can be infuriating but there's little worse than seeing another driver reaping the benefits of hours of blood sweat and tears.

Take a drive on the dark side if you must, but don't get rid of the 190 until you've been out of it for a couple of months without gettting the urge to check on it.

I did think about it for about 30 seconds,and the problem was "What do I replace it with" So I am keeping it.
