Thing is im running on a reaaaly tight budget at the moment and need to get my springs done first before anything which will be 480 bucks
Rego is due 6 days before christmas which also puts me in a bit of shit.
My question is... How many K's over 100,000 am i able to get away with before I'd probably start noticing problems?
I am thinking about putting the service off until about late December/January....
Why not get the Service done and Reg the car for 6mths and then insure it monthly until you can afford the full 12mths to spread the cost out a bit and get away from the Christmas money hassle. Be aware that monthly insurance can be disheartening come claim time from what I have heard so look into it fully, you could also look into Fire & Theft only cover or Third Party Damage only etc too as a means of spreading the cost until you have the funds to insure it for 12mths, don't discount a Personal Loan to get your Rego & Insurance spread out to take the weight off paying them both at once, ask your parents for financial advice too.
There are way and means you just need to weigh up the consequences that if something does happen to your car accident wise, and don't disregard some other idiot running into you instead of the other way around, what is acceptable to you.
I hope I have given some info to help allay some of your fears.
