I'm running a car which cost less than 1% of my salary. I love it. If it gets bent, no biggy, I just get another. Only time I lock it is if my phone is in the glove compartment.

What are you running ?

I bought a £800 06 Nissan Primera in March 2015. It had a few scrapes and marks, mainly on plastic bumpers etc, so nobody really wanted it. I've done about 10k in it.

Had a service and MOT including front disks and pads and an ABS sensor in March when the MOT ran out for £360.

Treated myself to an aircon regas for £36. Despite usually running new cars, this is the first car I've had with climate control, and it works.

Spent £60 on a battery a couple of weeks ago.

One of the pleasing things about it is I have lent it out to family and friends a couple of times when they have been stuck. We get very precious about cars but as a low value vehicle neither I nor they had any worries. I simply checked that their insurance gave them third-party cover to drive a car not owned by them.
