Buy a car with the cash payout, you can always spend spend spend on credit once you complete.

An Oyster card may be more prudent

Are Oyster cards just for London?

I try and avoid the M25 at all costs!


Looking at the trains it wouldn't be direct it would involve going in the opposite direction to change trains plus it would cost over £4,000 every year

I can sympathise, we had our offer accepted on the Friday and then our car was written off (whilst parked) on the Saturday night. I was advised not to take out additional borrowing and we have therefore bought a car with our pay out and furniture and decorating fund....

Not ideal timing but I suppose it demonstrates you can prioritise spending.

Best of luck

Wow what rotten luck you have had too!


Why do these things always happen at the worst possible times?!
