These fucking things are so god damn costly. I'm having to fork out over £700 for my fucking nigger car to pass it's MOT cause there's an oil leak and my break discs are fucked. That's a thousand dollars. I've only recently in the past few weeks spent hundreds on the fucker getting new brake discs and pads, a new battery, new tyres and lights. As well as it's tax renewal and insurance renewal. This fucking cunting thing is costing me thousands which I could be spending on BSV instead, FUCK. Don't get a fucking car unless you want to be completely cucked by it and are willing to spend every penny you make wagecucking on keeping it running.

Shouldn't have bought a car from the 30s
If we're being serious though, the way you go about maintaining your car shows a lot about your money management. It seems like you're just utter shit with money. Git gud faggot

Youre a stupid fucking nigger. It shows nothing about money management. If a car needs repairing its not because you didnt manage your money correctly you mongrel bastard

Buy a bike. If you're a poorfag and owning a car isn't profitable for you, then it's not worth it.

What car is it and what kind of a leak is it? You can fix almost any oil leak yourself, and the gaskets/seals are usually very cheap. Are all the brake disks fucked? How are they fucked? You know you can get them resurfaced if they're just warped, right?
Basically what I'm trying to tell you is that there are always ways to save money, and you're not looking for them. First of all, buy most parts from a wrecker and not new. Except for most wear parts though. But buy used tyres, the price difference is huge.

I bought a used mazda 3 like 5 or 6 years ago. Didn't bother to register it so I don't pay registration or tax. I do have liability insurance which is $80/month. I only ever put oil and gas in it, and brake pads once and a tire rotation. I just drive through automated tolling to and because its an expired plate from a different state I'm not sure where the bill ends up but its been years and I've never had it come back on me.

I drive a 2012 corsa. All I've had to do to it so far is change a headlight bulb and replace a radiator sensor. Cost like £10 total. Do oil changes and shit myself.

Get your ass off the sofa if you want to save money. Changing the discs and pads is a piss easy job. The strut mounting is even easier. Idk about the oil feed pipe because I've never worked on a 207, but it's absolutely doable as well, with the help of a few Youtube vids

this guy is a UK fag, if you dont live in london then the cost of public transport alone isnt sustainable, unless you want to just wagecuck your entire life.

Thats before we get started on how unreliable, poor time keeping and just literally falling to pieces the infrastructure is because they never upgrade the service, just upgrade the price.

Its sickening when you go to somewhere like slovakia and it has better, cheaper, more clean and reliable public transport than 'britain'

Ok so it's a 207 GT. I thought it was a diesel. You give very little relevant information in your posts.
Anyways you said you needed to replace the front brakes. It appears to me that the regular discs fit the GT model fine. You don't need those expensive vented ones. Oh and you don't need a 207 GT. Remember when we talked about money management?

You bought a car that's either too old or a shitty model. Either way, unless you know the mechanic personally, never allow them to "buy" the parts for you. Buy the parts yourself and have them do the labor... however, it's a semi-secret that most car stuff is hardly difficult. Watch youtube videos and make a one time investment in tools.
