Cars

I've currently got a Seat Ibiza FR in grey. Best car I've ever had. Would get another Seat at the drop of a hat.

I used to have a Fiat but would never get another one. Before I had my licence revoked on medical grounds I had a VW Polo, which was a great little car and would never have got rid of it if my license hadn't been revoked for 12 months.

Splashed out on a personalised number plate too LE58 REC. Well I say splashed out, it was about the cheapest personalised number plate you can get as it means sodomist all to anyone else.

If you finance a car, dont get it through advantage Finance where i used to work- greed like you wouldnt believe

If you buy a car on HP after the contract has gone halfway you have the right to hand the car back and no further payments. Obviously the car has to be in a good condition, with no dints bumps or scratches and you have to take it where they want it delivered.

This works in your favour if the money you have to repay from the halfway point to the end of the contract is going to be more than the value of the car once you have paid the HP off. It worked for me and does not affect your credit score as it is part of the HP contract.

The only drawback is you don't have anything to trade-in so you start your next purchase from scratch, but you do save a wedge of cash in the long term.

I looked at a personal number plate DB 2. I said to the wife it's 200, get it she said and then I finished my sentence with GRAND.
Well it was a nice thought.

It doesn't impact your credit rating but good luck getting credit from that lender in the future.

I knew someone who's family had the TR7 plate back in the day

It was on an old banger but they wouldn't part with it at any price ( at the time - maybe they did once that model had had its heyday )

Been driving a Peugeot 3008 for the past 4 years. It’s 12 years old now and only done 78k miles in it and most of those we’re bringing it over to Ireland.

Just ordered a new Citroen c4 as a company car…….that’s if it ever gets built of course. Current wait is 6 months
