Keyless cars...why the scare stories?
I keep seeing threads on other forums, regarding thefts of keyless cars, I'm no car thief, but if the car is going to get stolen it's going to get stolen, if the car is not towed away, then they will just access the ports on any modern car surely?

Personal Lease, PCP, buy outright?
I change my car pretty regularly, every 2 to 3 years, now is the time for a new one and I've been mulling over how to 'purchase' it. I've built up quite a bit of equity in the car which I'm starting to think is the wrong thing as every month it loses value. To get a similar car equals more cash and will lose value as I…
