Ive started a new job and its 1680 after tax and then i get a wage rise in 6weeks...Plus ive been given a company van..So i pay nothing..
So i can either trade in my astra van with a deposit or just sell it on...But mot dew in november but ive just put 6months tax on it...
I want a New New car...05 wards and something nippy im 20,21 in 3weeks and been driving 3yrs but 1 accident at fault which took 2years NCB of me But im near the end of my 1st NCB..
I live with parents and have basically nothing coming out a month just rent(parents) And a small phone bill..
Or the 2nd choice would be Pay for something wright out which mean id have a car on 2002 plus i want a car asap...And theres on a few i want tbh..
Id go to a prober dealers for finance and id have the car for a while..So like vauxhall or ford..Im stuck for idea personally

Astra VXR - much more car for the money. 0% finance only applies to brand new cars.

Not sure mate, but can't be that much more than the Corsa can it given that its not much more expensive and not too much quicker either....
Only way is to get a quote isn't it...

when i enquired the 0% didnt apply to the VXR range
corsa VXR's are crap, the astra is 10x better imo
but then my audi is 10x better again!
what do you want a new car for? newer it is the more money you will lose

2.5k on insurance you need your head testing!
Maybe if it was a TVR or Porsche it could be justified

Not sure on that. I had a brochure through this week from Vaux as part of the Partners scheme. I could have an Astra VXR with 8% off and 4 years 0% finance. Whether that only applies to the Partners scheme or to everyone I'm not sure

Get something smart and not particularly fast but cheap to insure for a couple of years till your crash doesnt count anymore

I havent had a car for 9months and been driving my astra van everyday and its really gettin to me..I want something on par with my old Xe corsa...
Ok maybe 10k might be a little much So a brand new one might be out of the question...
Id want something around a 05 idealy or even a 2002 ...
ive seen Fiesta St go for 6k on autotrader and there a grp 13 i want a nice little car i can enjoy and take people in...Mpg doesnt bother me..

Ok, move out and rent or something, get some freedom. £1600 after tax, plus getting more in 6 weeks is well liveable imho.

You could look at it that cars depreciate like fuck and are a waste of money. You could have good fun either way though.
I agree, I'd probably stay at home, but I wouldn't splash out on cars. I'd be saving for the day I could BUY somewhere or something.
