on this board we get a lot of people asking about whats the best to buy/pay for a car, and if you find it annoying take comfort in the fact that they're actually asking!
A friend of mine with a whole world of money issues has just taken out an agreement on a hyundia veloster. The main justification being cheaper mpg and tax compared to her aging a3 and no more maintenance (about a year ago she had a faff doing rear bushes) and might have done one oil change since then. All in all the car has been really good
Now she has a monthly payment paying off the car to massively offset the tax and mpg. The only other saving grace is the "bumper to bumper" warranty but shell have to pay normal servicing cost to keep the warranty in tact, which wouldn't be a problem for most but this person is so unbelievably cash strapped
They'll do 5-6k miles a year, they'll be paying through the nose in terms of cost per mile. People obviously do this all the time but its just a bit more shocking when its someone you know!
