How? Current loan payments of around ?150 a month, replaced by loan payments of around ?130 a month. Not really much of a saving is it? Other running costs likely to be exactly the same as now, other than repair bills may be higher for an older bike!

What's forcing the move out? You, or your folks? If you really can't stand it then it's a balance of what means more to you - bike or sanity. If you can stay can you make changes to your lifestyle to make it all more palatable? I personally would be very reluctant to sell my bike.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I think deep down I know you're right about staying at home being the best thing. I know ?300 a month wont get me anywhere (especially in London!) but it would mean I could afford somewhere. I think I actually would cry though as I saw my bike being driven off by someone else . It's only social reasons which are pressuring me to move out really, that and the fact that living with your parents can be a bit of a c0ck block sometimes! My folks don't want me to leave really I think .

You're right though Ed, I just gotta decide what means more to me... Which is not going to be easy baring in mind last night it took me 2 hours to decide what 4 toppings to put on my create your own pizza...

Then the org has decided for you.

You are going to:

1. stay with your folks
2. keep your bike
3. make sure you lock the bathroom door
4. keep your bike

Believe me when I say you will regret selling the bike. If you can live at home do it while you are still paying off the SV. Double up on the payments for the bike and it will be cleared in no time. Bear in mind that some people are put off by outstanding finance as well. I think that if you sold it you would probably get another bike within 6 months and be worse off for it. When summer hits you will be so glad to have the bike.

KEEP IT!

Basically you cant take girls home to **** them.

Im considering whether or not to sell my mx5 at the moment. Im also exactly halfway through the payments and having got a new job which is less than 10 miles away, cant really see the point in having a flashy car to drive about 16 miles round trip a day and then put it on the drive for the next day.

Rob, my MX5 now only does about 5000 miles a year, as I use public transport to get to work. Still worth it with the roof down like today, same as I'd never get rid of the bike either. Guess I'm in a slightly different situation as mine doesn't owe anything, but I'd keep hold if I were you.
