Flic Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I never give it a second thought. If they want it, they can have it, that's one of the reasons I have insurance. The keys are near the door, if they break in, the keys are there and they can take the 2 cars and they don't need to search, therefore wrecking my house, to find the keys. Also, it doesn't put my family, my dog or myself at risk with people who are going to go to extreme lengths to get the keys as the cars are the least important things compared to the house, family and dog. Well said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Here, here! Another advantage of the MK4, who in their right mind is going to want to steal it?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bILLOO Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hehe, is your numberplate worth more than your car, Michael? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie07 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hehe, is your numberplate worth more than your car, Michael? :P When I scrapped in my 99 reg fiesta the cheeky salesman said 'you're getting a real deal here cos realistically your cars only worth a couple of hundred!' So I'd say for sure ur number plate would b worth more than ur mk4 but hey good on ya u seem proud of it and that's all that matters! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, i'm not really. IF you look on auto trader you can find quite a few MK4's that are similar to mine for more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not just worth £3.76 and a worthers original, they'res still a little market for old fiestas for people like me who have just passed and want a car they've heard of before!
