Reckless enough even considering it!!
Jesus, her dad thinks she should look into getting a new car. Grrrrrr

My gf's dad used the scrappage scheme to get 2k for his battered old Fiat Bravo. He replaced it with a Picasso, muchos respect lost

My girlfriend just bought a clio (despite my recommendations and comments on french cars) on the basis that it:
1. Is nicer to drive than a fiesta (she hasn't driven one) and is more badass
2. Looks cute
3. Goes reeaaallllllyyy fast (1.4)
What can you do?

If scrappage keeps getting extended I wonder if you'll be able to trade in a Picasso under scrappage for exactly the same car new
I think there's a new one now...
I'm sure I drove past something that wasn't Picasso shaped that had Picasso on the back...
EDIT: It seems there are four different Citroen Picassos...

It's a Xsara Picasso and the cost of change was about £8k. Now correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't he have got a perfectly good 2 year old 2l Mondeo for the same money (£8k plus what about £500 for a knackered Bravo)?
Thing is, it has been handy in the past couple of months for moving the gf's stuff into the new flat we're renting but it can't hold a huuuge amount more than a mondeo and the mondeo would be much better for the rest of the time he needs it for.

I've already talked to my gf about Beetles. I've told her that if she even thinks about getting one, she will have an experience that makes a 15th century Witch Trial look like a picnic.
I don't think someone who can barely handle a KA should get a Z3 somehow.
(btw where did you bring it to?)

Just to clarify, I never meant that this Picasso was alright... It was the new funky shaped one.Anyway, the good news.
She'e decided on a Ford Fiesta (newer shape). So Im looking at the 1.25 or 1.4 Zetec's.
A quick question though, her suspesion is knocking again at the front, does this need to be fixed before handing over for a part ex?
Did she like the QS? should have said it's worse than that and the Fiesta is superior

dump her.
