When I went to buy my first car I had £2k to spend so I bought a £900 car that gave me plently of repair funding which luckily I've never really needed. What good is going out and spending your nans money on something newer if it pulls a golf a shats the camshaft etc etc. could you afford to repair it? no, that's a fact. you'd be stuck with another box of metal and both you and your nan would be out of pocket. If you want great mpg get a moped or something
I still stick by a 106 nad or even a xud, yes it's not the 60mpg+ you lie awake at night dreaming off but running on veg will damn near ofset the number difference and don't say you can't be asked with doing veg stuff because it's not time consuming and if you're not working then you havent alot else going on atm
As I've said before, I AM working lol, I just don't have a proper job like most of you. I still spend most days doing things to earn money....when I can get about in the car that is! I'm determined not to go on dole so while I can still scrape by NOT being a dole bum I will do.
Tbh, my Nan will never be out of pocket, anyone knocks at her door telling her about a 'today only' deal, she bloody does it - for example she had her roof cleaned and painted (no i dont get why either) for several thousand pound last year!!
If you buy a newer car with a years dealer warranty and the camshaft breaks (unlikely unless its had 130ks worth of abuse) then you take it back and they fix it....a year is hopefully enough time to sort other things out.
