If you absolutely have to get a shiny new CLA, why not lease one for ~£250/m, save the remaining from your £2k spare and you'd have one hell of a house deposit after a short time. I wish I could have done so when I was 21. Why chuck £30k into a car when you're lving at home when you spend it on a house instead?
The loan will be approx £400 pcm so for the extra I can keep it longer and own it. I will still be able to save 1k+ a month and put that towards the house.
Ultimately because the only houses I want to buy are in London and that will require 100k size deposit... saving a hundred pound here or there isn't going to cut it. I will only be able to achieve that once I triple my salary.
