My current car is my first car, I'm 37 and have had a licence since I was 18 but only bought it last year. 2004 Fiat Panda. Cost £2k with 24,000 miles. Insurance is about £400. Ulez exempt. Roof bars mean I've just fitted a rack and a Thule 561 for bike carrying duties. Might also get a narrow roof box as the boot is a bit small. I'm 6'2" and the driver seat is not all the way back. Regularly carry mini_com in her car seat. At Christmas, we drove to NI and back (1,000 miles total for the holiday) and it didn't miss a beat. The only things I've had to spend money on were a new battery (£50) and two new tyres (£50 each). I will drive it into the ground, but I feel like it's already paid me the £2k.
