    I would just get something cheaper than lumber yourselves with a huge debt for a banger....I'll give you an example of these 5 -6k cars.

    My friend bought an 07 reg, 1.9D Vectra SRI, full history with 45k miles on it, from a Co Op Motorgroup dealership.....resonable you may think?

    In the first year of ownership, £600 for some valve, £300 for AC pump, another £600 for another valve and now the cream, 1.5k for a flywheel or something.

    In the same time my Rover 45 diesel cost me about £45 LOL

    Although you dream of your shiny new banger, think with your sensible head and not your "want" head.
