    You could buy all sorts of nice car for £5k, don't bother with finance
  • Someone I know just passed there driving test, 18 years old (male) and tried to get insurance for a 2007 Ford KA 1.1 ...he was quoted £3,500 so how on earth are you going to be able to afford Petrol + insurance + car tax + MoT + Finance + repairs, maintenance & upkeep?
