So I'm now in a position where I could afford to by myself a new or second car.
In the last 2 weeks I've alomost bought 2 Golfs, a Focus, 2 BMW 3 series and now I'm looking at a 5 year old Suzuki Jimny for a second car.
Every time I go to sign the paperwork I change my mind!
My Mothers bought a brand new Jimny and it's a brilliant little car! No good for a daily drive for me but it's one of the most fun things I've every driven and would make a fun second car. They do hold their value though. An 8 year old model will set you back £4,500 and a 5 year old model will cost you £6,500-£7,000!
Everything else I've looked at was to replace my Mondeo. And this is where I struggle. The Mondeo has been a cracking car and I'm very attached to it, as a result I'm reluctant to get rid even though it's going to start costing me money in the near future. It's now got 140,000miles on the clock, it's still on the original clutch, the rear suspension squeeks now and again, there is a faint knock from the front suspension and there is also a few interior rattles driving me utterly wild! BUT I love the way it goes about it's business, it's very comfy, easy to drive, quiet when you pootle around but makes a lovely noise when you put your foot down and it goes like well too! Then there's the fact that on a clear 60-70mph run in good weather it will and has done 75mpg! I can't think of any other car that will geuinley beat that figure!
Yet, I sit here looking for the next car that I decide I want then bottle it last minute.
wow! I understand how this happens though, you both work full time I guess? actually I found some old Building Society savings books last weekend and saw/remembered that me and Mrs Welly used to reliably save £500 a month. It's all turned to sh*t now though.
