But how can buying a new motor on finance save you money? that sounds like spending money. I was so relieved when my car finance finished and when I look now I couldn't afford to do it again at the moment :?

If you're on a budget then run a budget car and only fix what really needs fixing?

I'd read up about that 'free' insurance, in my experience NOTHING is ever free, you'll be paying for it one way or another.

Im paying nearly, 90 quid amonth car insurance,
then. repair costs if any
Tax. then theres Mot etc,.

it gives me 12 mth breathing space on the insurance,
plus no mots for a while, so it works out right in theory for me,

Im getting fed up with old cars too, so having a new one hp is the only way,

I think SEAt were some Eastern block manufacturrerer bought out by VAdGe a while back, just like Skoda, so they probably also share floorpans with some of the more well-known Krautmobiles, as well as ersatz parts bin selections.

I'm sure WIKI will tell you more (with less racism :wink: )

I keep looking at hp and px my vw. The only issue with hp is 7k a year over 3 yrs :-(:-(.

If you drop on to a good 2nd hand low mileage car it can be a good investment

My vw has been far more reliable than my pug. Hence I'm in no rush to get rid. It cost me 11.5 k 3 yrs ago and apart from tyres and servicing thats it.
