    My house has a had a few owners and I buy new cars. Completely different to lower price objects.

    If I buy new and it goes wrong I certainly wouldn't want to end up with a secondhand replacement.

    If others want to accept that then fine, not for me though.



    So despite your previous statement you do buy second hand? Have you ever bought a second hand car?

    Of course I have but cars and house are major purchases and a completely different matter.

    But again I say I wouldn't consider changing something I bought new to something secondhand.

    A house is usually the most expensive thing you will buy and a car is probably next most expensive...buying a new car isn't usually good moneysaving.

    That would depend if you are the sort of person who will buy secondhand, personally I wouldn't even consider it.



    Read your words...you now admit you have bought secondhand despite saying otherwise. Am I wrong in thinking you have claimed previously to be an honest person?

    if you look after a new car it will give many years good service, which can save money over buying secondhand cars that others may have rejected.

    So the used 3 month old Vauxhall Astra I bought with 2.5k on the clock in 2006 for half the list price of a new vehicle and is sitting on my driveway with 96k on the clock and passed it's £30 MOT in June was a mistake?

    It's not nitpicking. It's challenging your lies...or are you saying you should be ignored when you lie? Did you not state you were an honest person?

    I can't believe you bought a 3 month old car for half the price of new.

    If I was dishonest I could have shut you up instantly by saying I've never bought a secondhand car or house but I didn't.

    You behave just like Money Saving King, how strange.
