    Your costs have been £562 + repairs per year over that time. My current car cost £500 and I've spent around £500 on repairs to date, not counting the 3 vandalised windscreens over the past 2 months (can't blame the car itself for that). We've had it for 4 years now, so that's £250 a year including repairs.

    On the other hand, I'm driving round in a 26 year old automatic diesel saloon, you're not. You may feel that you wouldn't want that even if they paid you, in which case my large savings in cash would be very poor value for money to you.


    My car cost £325 just less than 3 years ago, I did pay £425 for the timing belt doing, other than that its just been oil and MOTs.
    I am thinking about my next car, maybe around £3,000; I really want a Euro 6 but I dont think my annual 4,000 miles warrants a £6,000 car.
    If I did Uber, then it might be an option, but I think I will keep my present job for a few years more.
