    The money isn't from old job, it's the ones in my OP. I cannot get anyone to pay me :(

    Mum's having the one I've got for £2k, I have £1.2k saved and this perfect car is £4500 so I'm short £1.3k and mum hasn't got the money to give me now so I'd have to sort out some kind of finance for it. :(

    Well I've looked at Parkers and the local paper and every similar car is about £800-£1k more!
    It's an amazing deal but....argh is it stupid when I have no income yes - but I can pay it off in one once I get my bloody Tax Credits!

    Did that mean you caved in and bought the car?

    cars are a money pit, though - always have been, always will be....tax, mot, insurance, fuel, windscreen wipers, new tyres, blah blah blah!
