I dont know how old you are, but you should look at v. small engines if this is your first car, insurance has gone mad this year!! Look at what you can afford in a 1.0-1.3litre engine? After a years NCD you can always shift it for a newer one, when you know you're definately OK driving.
That is, if you're new to driving, I might be way off, lol x

I'm with you all the way on the TT I want a white one!!

I have an old banger after my beloved car was written off in crash, initally i bought it as i needed a car asap and it was cheap, while i was waiting for the insurance to pay out.

But....a year on i have kept it, simply because it's so reliable and cheap to run and insure...It looks like a pile of doo doo, but.......while my money is in the bank it's earning interest!.

Why, oh why, oh why do people pour so much money into cars. They always depreciate like crazy.

I only started driving a few years ago and I'm on my second used car. It's a diesel, economical but a model that looks reasonably sportyish. Cost me ?3500 and had it almost 3 years now. Had about ?700 worth of work done on it kast year, partly because it's low mileage had caused a few things to seize and the tyres to crack as they'd been on for years and not worn out.

Some models don't age much in that the design stays the same, mines like that and as long as it's kept clean it could be any age.

Couple of guys have commented however that they'd expect me to have a huge plasma TV and sports car. I have neither as I'm not interested in spending out that much cash, on something I wouldn't use or see the point in. If however someone would like to buy me such a vehicle, and pay the insurance for it I would not say know. An Elise would do me just fine thanks.

I thought all cars in the US were gas guzzlers AP.

I'm with the bumps thing. Had kept mine quite well until a 4x4 went past at speed out over the hills and threw a large stone at the bonnet. Big scratch now and if I had  a newish car I would have been sick.

Hehe, what is it about the white Audi TT girls ? 

I have had my sights set on getting one for a while now ..

I don't know if  I will go ahead, it seems like such an unnecessary cash drainer and I could find myself working simply to pay for the upkeep ..

Meanwhile, my 4year old Toyota Aygo is a little sweetheart, costs just ?35 a year road tax and can be parked on a penny!
