Whoop!

Just bought a new car. Seat Leon 1.8 SE 20V 2002 51 plate in Silver for £4995.

£2k for my Peugeot 306, car includes 12 months MOT and 3 months comprehensive warranty and 12 months tax negotiated!

I'm just in a sharing mood, feel free to ignore the post.

It is not a " new car ", however you dress it up.:rolleyes:

Stop being such a spoilsport

A 'new' car to anyone usually brings happiness (at least for a few days!) so let him be happy with it. Brand new cars are usually a waster of money anyway, unless you just want the prestige of having one.

Have you managed to work out the climate control yet? It took me ages on mine, in winter I just dont both using it!

Well you should, even for short periods, it keeps the system active and therefore lubricated.


Otherwise you could end up looking for a " new car "..

Perfect time to buy, all the previous owner will have absorbed the steep bit of the depreciation curve. May you have many miles of happy trouble free motoring

Buying a new car is a good way to p*** lots of money up against the wall in depreciation. My last car was an Alfa 156 that cost me £5,500 and would have been £20K to get a new one in the same spec. And it was less than 4 years old. I've now got a TVR that cost me the same as... probably a poverty-spec Focus or something. I know what I prefer... if you can afford a new car, you can afford a much better second hand one.
