Alright chappo's! Been a while since I posted on here!
Anyway...I was saving for a car (originally a mk1 Tdi FR, now I would like a 2.0 Tdi Fr K1) but me and my girlfriend got to a point when we wanted our own house, so took the plunge and bought our first house together so bang went all my savings.
I went from comfortably stashing away £150 a week/£600 a month to now having to put £165 a week into the house account (covers mortgage and bills) This basically leaves me with less than £100 a week, so the idea of having a change of vehicle is just not possible.
I bought my first car which is also my current one, back in 2008 and it will be 13 years old in feb next year. It's a 1.6 mk1 Leon with 92k on the clock, has a few problems; the main ones are the fact that the central locking and cd changer don't work.
The worrying thing for me is that I won't be able to afford any repair work if it comes at a bad time and the fact that I might have to drop out of the 'good car' market if I have to change it.
I can't afford finance or to even get any sort of loan at 0% I think I am just trying to be realistic although clearly having a frustrating time of it at the moment, having little money to myself.
