Why do people on here find it so difficult to understand people have different amounts of money to spend on their first car? Not everyone has to have some **** box, and the people who do, never had a 9k budget in the first place and made a concious decision to buy a piece tat 'just incase'.
If you're the type of person who thinks 'oh it's only worth x amount and it's crap' I'll drive it like a ***** / carelessly. You shouldn't be on the road anyway. I'd rather have a car with modern safety features, numerous air bags etc if I ever did get into a pickle I'd stand the best chance, as opposed to having **** box which would crumple into pieces. You purchase insurance for a reason.
