Did it come with FSH?
Changing the Cambelt is a good shout if there's no record of it being changed previously which will probably be a couple of hundred quid but a good investment. From previous experience though, it's very disheartening paying out money for work on a car that is running prefectly fine (when it had the Cambelt changed) - it did pay dividends in the long run though and I managed to get it to 193500 miles/10 yrs out of it before it went to car heaven.
It did come with a Full Service History, however I have a habit of getting it serviced as soon as possible, so I have a family member who works in the car industry who does my services, I buy all the parts he needs, Oil, filters etc. and he does the checks and fits them all. But yeah a Cambelt changes might be worth looking into.0 -
Don’t take this the wrong way but you are 19 why do you want so much debt do what most people do at 19 and get a car for £300-500 because you will bump it and scratch it and scuff the tyres. If your payment are say around £200 save up for 3 years also this will save you on interest0
