I put an ad for the Mégane online yesterday night, so I have to quickly fix the open issues: front tires, right side wheels, and the front left ball joint.

I had two tires left from the Audi I could use, and I bought the ball joint a few weeks ago.

As for the wheels, the narrow roads of the Alps and my shitty driving skills caused a few little scratches on the right side of the car.

And back on the car. As if it never happened.

As for the ball joint, I surrendered. Didn’t get it out, the tools we built broke. Will try again. On the lift this time.

Wait, did I miss something....why is the Megane being sold again?

I’ve had it for 3 months now, about the same time I had the 208.

I didn’t plan to keep it for too long and if I keep it a few months longer I’ll have to do the timing belt. If I sell it now, I should break even

Ah. didn’t realize you sold them that often! Good luck with selling it! :)

I’d buy it but I’m slightly over here in Canada and it’s too new to import :P

I could get you in a 406 coupé :)

I have my keeper cars and one slot that I swap quite often, so I can try a lot of cars at small costs

I like that idea! Shame decent used car prices are much higher here :/

I have the advantage I live close to Germany. There is a nice selection of hot hatches. Which noone buys new in France, so importing them works nicely
