I wouldn't buy a brand new car either, partially because of the cost, but mostly because get one a year old for cheaper, but there's one thing about cars with 4 miles on the clock:
New car smell

only reason i got a focus st brand new was because of the privilege ticket i get (2.5k off list price being an employee) and because the facelift only came out when 08 plates did

well if you have a straight 2.5k discount I think thats made up for the negatives then

i guess so, will still lose money, but thats all part of owning a new car really
i'd love an impreza (childhood dream car) but as said, can't get insured on one.

My uncle has offered me one of them privilege tickets for £500, which would leave me with what £2k off a new car? I have been tempted by a Focus, but my heart wants an Astra Twintop.

He wont I called him that an all. I couldnt get an ST though, although I love them I couldnt justify it. Ive seen an Astra TT for £12k thats tempting me, I dont even like converts, too posey, I just like the shape of it.
Its either get myself a decent car that I will want to keep or keep my Vectra and get a motorbike too, swaying more towards a decent car though

My mate is in the Army and said he has the priveledge of buying a brand new ford tax free because of this. Is this right?
He is looking at the ST3 too.

Loving the Focus STs. Think I'd probably have one over the Astra VXR.
Guy I've been photographing for currently has a lovely blue ST with white stripes and has already put his name down for the new Focus RS.
Oh, and he races a Fiesta ST too..........his local Ford garage must've seen him coming
