Stop being such a spoilsport :)

A 'new' car to anyone usually brings happiness (at least for a few days!) so let him be happy with it. Brand new cars are usually a waster of money anyway, unless you just want the prestige of having one.

Have you managed to work out the climate control yet? It took me ages on mine, in winter I just dont both using it!

Well you should, even for short periods, it keeps the system active and therefore lubricated.
;)

Otherwise you could end up looking for a " new car ".. :p

Perfect time to buy, all the previous owner will have absorbed the steep bit of the depreciation curve. May you have many miles of happy trouble free motoring

Buying a new car is a good way to p*** lots of money up against the wall in depreciation. My last car was an Alfa 156 that cost me £5,500 and would have been £20K to get a new one in the same spec. And it was less than 4 years old. I've now got a TVR that cost me the same as... probably a poverty-spec Focus or something. I know what I prefer... if you can afford a new car, you can afford a much better second hand one.

Kindly point out to me where I suggested anyone should buy a new car?

My only comments refer to the fact that the OP made a big splash about his " new car " which is actually five years old...that's all.

I have never bought a " new car " in my life.;)

He should be.

Just watch out for the usual Leon problems and you should be fine.

I think it's just a figure of speech... everyone says "I've bought a new car" whether it's really new or second hand.

What is your problem? It's a new car to him. If I go and buy a 1965 Ford model T I can say "I've bought a new car".

The Ford model T was made between 1908-1927.

You can say what you like, just like me.;)

It still ain't " new ".

Oh BTW, Ford never made a Model T in 1965, another incorrect fact?:rolleyes:

Very true, and exactly how I do my motoring. The only problem is that whilst buying at the flat bit of the depreciation curve lets you buy a TVR (or S4 in my case) for Focus money you have to remember that if it goes wrong you have to pay TVR or S4 prices to repair it. (Focus pads £7.50, S4 pads £55, Focus tyres £30 S4 tyres £95 etc etc).
