New car (nothing interesting!)

paradigm said:
If you were desperate for a car, borrow one? Or just buy something (rather than look for a specific car) that has tax and MOT, then worry about getting what you actually want at a later date?

Either way, getting penetrated sans-lube for a cruddy car from a main dealer sounds like par for the course for you.

EDIT: LOL at limiting yourself to cars within 10 miles.

Unfortunately not having friends in Luton makes it impossible to get around. Work Mon-Fri in London.

ho hum. because if it did break down in 5 months time taking it back 140miles is not really an option.

That isnt generally how a warranty works. It'll be underwritten by an insurer and allow repair at any VAT registered garage. Did you check any of this before you bought this car?

I simply refuse to beleive you couldnt find a way to NOT get ripped off. You live in Luton and work in London, the most populous place in the entire country and you just want a normal, average hatchback. There will be literally hundreds of thousands of normal hatchbacks for sale near you!

With the £1k+ you'd have saved you could have hired a Limo to take you around the car dealers for the day.

This really puts it into perspective as to how bad this deal really was.
 
I cant believe you swapped tax for a warranty.

What on earth was the point of buying it from a dealer then?

No it has been in a smack, but it's a good repair job by all accounts :)

that was meant to be a joke, from the times people have commented on a certain elise being in a ditch, and saying it looks fine, when they are just looking at one photo of a car taken from about 30ft away.

That was very inventive JB :)
 
Is there ever a serious "new car" thread in motors now?
All of them are jokes where people seek out the worst deal, and further the story with hilarious bad ideas.
