Still have to get past the age thing. If it was something big (and of course thirsty) like an Ovlov then she would be fine but then would moan about the age
Got an interesting deal on one of these on a lease to buy :
which is a granny special really
but it has a reasonable spec, is a little more solid than the Aygo / 107 / C1 trio from having a poke about in it, and is identical in performance / economy. > 51 MPG on the urban cycle - engine is 2cc smaller than the Aygo one and exactly the same hp / lb-ft
I wouldn't keep the lease / credit I would use it to get the dealer discount on offer and then pay it off asap - I hate credit. Its also used and not new.
I haven't gone for it still mulling.
If Mrs A gets a company car then we have 2 cars to trade in so she wants to wait and see that way. My view is that if I swap to something cheaper we can just sell her car and keep the cash for some house work we need to get done and the pensions could do with an injection of funds after the banks ruined them over the last 24 months.
I'm getting frugal in my old age I think but I'm looking to take money out of car spending and into other things. If I swing it right then I can pay for our part in A Jnr's birthday (he is saving and doing house jobs for the rest) in May and come out slightly ahead.
Maybe.
