    If he is going in to the army why would he need a car anyway? Definitely best trying to pick up a reliable run around or rely on lifts.

    When he goes in the Army, he should be able to save up enough money to get a car, which is what an ex of mine did. He was in the Army, and a private, and he saved enough from his pay to get himself quite a decent car
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    He is sulking at the moment (they never grow up) but he will realise it's the right thing in the end.

    Bus pass for him instead.
