    Nope, no car at the mo. I sold my Fiesta in January/February. And have been without a car since.

    So all in all i had around 3 months with a car after passing my test :rotfl: :rolleyes:

    Depends how much you are spending at the mo to get to work etc-how much extra would a car cost you?

    Oh i wouldnt use to for work, so its not really "essential" but would make things a lot easier in the long run, and would bring my insurance down as well.

    Oh right,well-obvious question(playing devils advocate) is how you are going to pay for it.

    Well i do have a fair amount of money "left over" every month that i stick onto my loan and CC, once they have gone (end of November) i will be able to pay insurance (around £80 a month etc.).

    I could do it, its just do I actually need it right now?? Im thinking the answer is no...

    Talking myself out of it! :rotfl:
