Car from Red Potato - Payplan Members

ShrewsfanIC

Hi guys

I wondered if anyone had any experience of getting a car through Red Potato (Payplan's service).

I've been chatting to them and understand the costs etc (and know its more expensive than buying from other places) but am in dire need of a car and this seems be the best (and only) option open to me which gives me something that will keep me going for the next 5yrs.

Maybe read up a bit more before looking.

There is no reason that an older or high mileage car will not last at least 5 years if looked after properly.

Bought mine for just over £2000 in 2009 and its still good. 170,000 miles now. But regular servicing will keep it happy for a while yet.

Fancy a change but dont know what to get next.

Get a K11 micra for £500 with 12 months MOT and (if you're lucky), some tax

Dirt cheap to run and insure! They go on forever.
