Paying Zero a month for a car that maybe old but every bit as reliable and as fast as new car.
Mine might not turn heads , but it is payed for and usually in front of you.

Mere 53 - Congrats on new car and price drop :T
Trets77 - I'm with you, our family work horse ( aka wife's car) is 5 yrs old, bought and paid for and never misses a beat, my cars out the box so no worries for 3 years with it and I will probably blitz the finance on it to. I think there is merit in buying new cars too, mainly because it supports thousands of jobs in the uk and abroad and you wouldn't be able to buy a decent cheaper car if it hadn't been a new car at some point.Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!0 -

Mine turns heads and cost £430 last year with 21k miles on it. It has gone up in value since I bought it.
Most head turning is accompanied by genuine interest (which surprised me) rather than the sympathy/derision I expected.
