Bollocks!

2007, clutch went on my car, got train/bus home, spotted a P Reg Pug 405 Diesel with a For Sale sign on it in a drive near where I lived, £395. Got off bus, checked it out, bought it cash as a stopgap, had it three years with no issues, sold the other too after new clutch.

What you need is a Contractor-Car, Rover 800-series, Old Jag, Vauxhall Carlton, doesn't matter so long as it has a decent ticket and long tax, stops, starts and goes round corners....

WSS

2 grand on a piece of tulip with 4 wheels and 6 mths tax and mot, sell it at the end for a grand and it cost you a grand plus running costs.

Why do you think it takes 2-3 months to buy a car

new car.

new car.

Waste of money.

Either:
1. Buy a second hand car like already said
2. Go to the dealer for a car you like and buy one with something like 15 miles on the clock so some of the depreciation would have been done for you.

I used to think the same but things aren't same as it used to be!!!

An year old A3 sportback costs more than brand new one (Online sites gives £3k discount)

It's amazing what you can get for £400-£1000 a lot of the time. Then it's paid down, no credit, and you can quite often offload it at cost when you want to move on even years later.

How about a 7 year old A3 Sportback? Diesel, leather, auto, only 160k on the clock, yours for £3k and I can deliver it tomorrow.

Unless you want to configure it how you like.
