I noticed that I have started a car buying debate.



All our circumstances are different.



If you have the money and want to buy new, then why not?

After all, if no one bought from new, who would be able to buy 'used' cars?

:cool:

As long as you do your research, haggle for a great deal and make an informed decision then I see no problems with buying from new.

The Peugeot 107 is a great example. Decent % off the RRP; low emissions therefore no road tax, great MPG, 3 year warranty. Same build as a Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 which have got decent reviews with regards to reliability (besides, you have the warranty for piece of mind). Nippy car around the city (68bhp for a small car like this is more than enough) and people on HUKD are saying it's also decent at 70mph on the motorway with overall good handling.

Remember that the £5,995 can also be haggled down. I reckon to probably around £5500 with a free tank of fuel thrown in and 3 years free servicing.

Resale value should be decent too when you no longer need the car.

This 2 year old Peugeot 107 Access with 20,000+ miles on the clock is being advertised at £6k; will probably sell for around £5k though.

Of course, only 'muggles' would buy from new.

I have to say we usually buy from new, neither of us know anything about car repairs. We pretty much see it as leasing and usually trade in every few years - not everyones cup of tea but works for us.

Morning all!:D

Sorry to hear of your cat FC:(

Spot on about the thread as usual!:T

Re APG I don't think the one or 2 folk that have posted their massive APG should be beasted....I don't agree with it but you can bet your bottom dollar, that others on here and in various group will be doing exacly the same....just won't be posting about it here...the difference is they know it's wrong....the 2 that have done it here perhaps naively....

Don't know what group your referring to but I haven't seen anyone posting APG results as high as the ones you are on about and they certainty wouldn't be condoned by the majority of members.

The question is what is more important... roof tiles or a new car!

I am not sure if I am making the right decision as the car looks the better choice!

How much are the roof tiles?
