Just a thought, whats the MPG and insurance group ?
Are 10k services less than £70 ?
It's not a city car really, and it's gold
Concerned with costs like that but happy to waste thousands.
YOU'RE AWESOME.
Finance haters gonna hate :-)

It did to everyone else too, yet you still made the wrong decision. Fallen off the bike much have we?
Lol at the car snobbery in this thread, really guys, get a grip on how things really work.
Laughable that you can post about an i10 and somebody actually shows you the Jag you could have brought for the same money!
This thread shows what Motors on here has become, go on, award yourself a gold star for it.

One person showed the Jag, other people are suggesting good, cheap, alternatives, like a Fiesta, which would have been perfectly fine.

Firstly, its not snobbery, its common sense. The badge has nothing to do with the reasoning behind realising this was a bad purchase.
Secondly, it's BOUGHT, brought is the past tense for taking something from somewhere to somewhere else.
Thirdly, become? It's always been a place of sense.
What exactly is your point though? ...I know somebody has to go and buy these cars new or nearly new, but this one is over 2 years old now and he is paying more for it than a brand new car costs. I know he is more interested in the monthly payments but when it comes down to it, it's a poor deal and not a good car for that amount of money.
On OcUK we (don't listen to me really, I waste a fortune on cars) do try to advise people of this and help them not to waste so much money on poor car deals though, or getting caught up in the usual quagmire. Some people are going to do it, but OcUK members have the benefit of this fine forum to help them go about car buying in a better way. This guy even new what he had done and made a thread about it knowing the type of response he would likely get.
I wasn't suggesting he buy a Jag, far from it ..I was just demonstrating what £7k can buy you.

I must admit I posted this as I knew it would get this reaction... of course there were better buys about, but I needed a car quick (a class steering woes), and this just worked for me...
Do I have sleepness nights over it, hell no... missus has even named the car Doris, why do women do that ?

Okay so what would have been a better city car (Jaguar what?!) for the OP? I saw a Fiesta mentioned but what else?

It's not snobbery, it's giving across our opinions that there are better ways of spending the money.
Most of us are here because cars are a hobby, and we enjoy them, and discussing them.
So many people don't think of the alternatives because all they care about is what letters or numbers are on a sheet of perspex at either end of the car, or the numbers that show up on the dashboard, and don't think about anything else.
It's been said a million times - this place would be boring if every response was "nice car mate" (much like many owner's forums) - at least here you get a nice range of opinions and suggestions, and most of the time they are actually best for the person in question!
Ahhh a thread of fail wouldn't be complete without the "THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE MOTORS" post. Well done.
If I was your wife I would divorce you for being an utterly dull twit.

But..... a city car is never gonna be a 'hobby' car, so will never get appoval in here.
I didn't post for a 'nice car mate' comment, just for a laugh really. The i10 makes me smile everytime I get in... it's a genuine fun car
I think we could knock the Saxo off the list, not sure about the C2 ...I thought the one I had for a few days was rubbish, but then I'd probably think they were all rubbish so not very objective I suppose.
