Because i would have said it's a more wise thing to invest his money into, he could purchase a small cheap car and then use the rest for a house deposit? I realise it was only asking about cars but just though of it as an idea.

I know how your thinking and your very wise to do so, but if he wanted to invest in property, it would be in the options list.
