I'm sure it'll lose 200k on the slow boat to Dublin this time next year.
Not worth it.

Can’t help thinking that if it’s still reliable and not costing you too much you should keep it. Better the devil you know and all that.
The other side of the coin is that you’re used to the fixed cost of the repayment so replace it with a new one.
Also downgrade? Huh?
I know that was no use at all. My work here is done.
The downgrade option will be into an Octavia. I'm considering this as due to whippet and JRT ownership that's happened since Ioniq purchase, our only hope of a holiday is towing a caravan and sadly the Hyundai has a towing limit of 1000kg.
The obvious answer is to keep the Hyundai for working and buy something ridiculous for towing.
Lexus ls400?
Serious. I would keep the hyundai and save the payments.

Get that cunt up to 300k. Bank the payments every month so you’re in good stead if it blows up big time

Lexus has a 1600kg capacity. Poor show.

Are you turning into LBF Paul?
At least you'd be doing it about a car rather than a 3 wheeled bathtub I guess.
P.s. envy may have had some influence on this post.

That BMW X5 should make a decent tow car if it's still around?
Personally as it's about to be paid for unless there is a tax incentive which makes it more profitable to get rid you might as well use it until it's no longer financially sensible and bank the payments - if it does die massively how long does it take to get your plate put on a new one?

150k is probably what 75k on the engine if they run in spazchariot mode as much as they seem to when I see them.

I thought the lexus would've pulled a lot more weight. I'm sure my v70 was 2000kg or even 2200kg

The Japanese just don't 'get' towing, so something like a Lexus will not really be considered a tow car by the Japanese.
