            Hey cocalls,
 Yes - it's 13 years old as it happens :rotfl:! However you can only get the £2k off when buying a new car. I researched it online and the cheapest new cars are around £6,500 - £7,000; so even if you get a 1 litre engine and no extras, we're still talking £6k minus £2k = £4k to find. Obviously pitch this against a 10 year old car at £1k ish for a 1.4 litre engine, power steering, central locking, etc and you begin to see why I'm tempted - oh and of course, it would be shiny ! :rotfl: ! :rotfl:
 I think I've pretty much decided to wait and see until the end of this month. If my OH takes on that DD and pays me back some money, I'll start trying to get some extra £££'s put away towards the car and see how long it takes me. If he doesn't ... well, that's my question answered for me eh!
 Hows things with you?
