• I’m probably being quite ignorant here, but if you’re gonna spend £8k on a second hand car, plus more on the hidden problems, you might as well just go new on finance.
    I take the “buy cheap and run into the ground” approach - so far my £400 mk1 focus estate has needed a new clutch and 2x new tyres in the 3 years I’ve owned it.

  • It gets parked on the road - I don't want to do that with a new car.

    But I am definitely ignorant about car buying so maybe that is the best thing to do.

    I'd take the bangernomics approach, but Mrs upsidedown (the main driver) won't.
