Help me decide on a new car

[Cristian]

I for one agree with the above thought, but still wouldn't want to do 20k pa in an EP3.
Instead I'd spend 8k on an e90 330i and have more or less the same car as 13k 330i.
Heck if I had that miles to do I'd drop 8-9k on an e90 330d (yes, not with 60k miles) but the difference in depreciation per year alone would cover my potential DMF and turbo failure.

Who said anything about financing a new car?

No one, but you're talking about financing something which is three of four years old which will still give you massive depreciation whereas my suggestion is cheap, easy, available, low depreciation and you could do 20k a year in luxury most likely not paralleled by your living room.

I think he was referring to the finance rather than the age of the car

No, I've not mentioned financing anything.

I would have suggested the new A-Class Merc, but I think that's well over your budget.

Yeah I think it's way over his budget.

I think being sensible on that budget, would look for something like the VW Golf GTI mk5 pirelli edition. More exclusive than the edition 30 and obviously the normal gti, with the same performance specs as the edition 30 but with a different (nicer imo) interior/wheels. Wait for one with a decent spec though.

Not sure how the Astra is so good looking compared with the golf but maybe thats just me.

So your not financing the new car? So you managed to save 15k while at the same time not being able to afford to run a focus and have another car sitting in a aircraft hangar doing nothing?

Didn't you say you put away close to 2k in disposable income into savings at one point? That puts you well over 45k-50k (maybe even more) when you factor in the non disposable income your spending each month. How can you not afford to run the cars!
