  • !!!!!!........?!

    Darkmatter.
  • Well it doesn't have anything to do with me. But for the benefit of the OP in future he/she may find it works out cheaper to get a used car rather than one on finance

    I don't think it's the price that's the problem!

    Be cheaper for you to have beans on toast for dinner every day.
    Nothing to do with me though, just think it would benefit you financially.

    It's would be even cheaper to have an imaginary T bone steak.

    I don't think that's a very fair comparison. Eating beans on toast everyday would cripple anyone's health over time. Driving a 5-10 year old banger rather than a brand new Vauxhall doesn't harm the drivers health.



    Depends on the variance in crash protection and safety systems between the 2 cars.

    M3 to Yaris.
    Golf to old A3.
    Lexus to Corolla.

    Surprised he hasn't compared these cars.
  • Golf to an old A3? What generations are you talking about? I'd think their safety ratings should be around the same, if not the A3 should have the slight edge

    I'd say a !!!!!! SE converted to an S-line.
  • Okay Spicy Haggis, I love your sarcastic comments please can you go back to the topic of discussion concerning the OP.

    Of course you do darkmatter.
  • OP, I know it isn't worth much mentioning it to you now, but you may have been better off purchasing a brand new Toyota Aygo/Yaris on finance. Far better cars and their value holds stronger too

    Just need to make sure it has rear brakes eh?
