Mmm one of the parents is being very disinclined to make this possible We shall see.

We'll send Stu 'round to explain to them that you need it because it's an 'Oooh shiny' moment

 

[Disca]

Well, if you test drive it you may find that you don't like it so it's probably better to have that discussion when you've decided if it's for you or not....

Don't want to upset you but surely you shouldn't be putting this on your parents

The bank of mum and dad is cheaper than the high street, as I know to my cost

 

[Disca]

Parents didn't want me near finance, hence themselves.

Laudable, but building a credit rating is probably also a good idea for when you finally need a mortgage.

Anyway, we digress. Go and buy the damned car. Tell them you'll do a "Kevin" on them if you can't have it...

Fare comments,but I believe if you can't afford it then don't get it.

I'm with you, I was horribly in debt and now I'm paranoid about it. Only the mortgage to go then debt free.

That said, some working debt (credit card paid off each month) is sensible for a credit rating. Unfortunately cars are one of those expenses that you frequently have to finance when young as a necessity. If you're financing you may as well have something you actually enjoy and not just a shed.

Yeah mum is also on about should save for it and not borrow.

But it is shiny.

 

[Lynchy]

I know how you feel,I was young once.It will come to you.Work hard and you'll get there

 

[PerryGunn]

So... Are you going to see it?

 

[Lynchy]

I do have a confession though,my Mum and Dad always promised to buy my first car for me.Sadly when I'd just left school at 16 my Mum passed away but my Dad bought me a Capri when I turned 17.

Only because you can't park them

I did indeed go to see #255 this afternoon.

Nice car overall drives well.

Engine was cold when got there as advised, was stored indoors though so didn't have a warm-up period of longer than a minute or so.

Full service history with run in service done also.

The services were done pretty much bang on the two year mark each time with its Inspection 2 done in July.

Downsides:
- PDC has an issue but he said he'd fix that.
- Rain sensor on the wipers has some damage to the tinting. The wipers are fairly aggressive most likely as a result when on sensor. They were on non-intermittent when it was spitting.
- Visible in picture 5, the drivers side door sits out about 1-2mm from where it should yet all the bodywork panels line up correctly, could just need adjusting.

Was offered 7k p/x for my 2.0i 08 52k.
