A bit harsh, that. We can't all afford to buy and run decent cars.

Janesy is a special case as he has absolutely no issues being equally as scathing to everyone else

A Fiesta is a good car as well but i dont think that you can get a good Fiesta for £500 or less and that would be cheap to insure

I wasn't even recommending one

True but there are limits

And what's wrong with skate shoes and etnies hoodies?!? I wear those as well

Nothing, but hardly the attire of choice for most discerning 5 Series drivers? I was just using it as an example as Fox hardly fits the stereotype either.

It's a shame I don't have a student loan to finance an awesome car

I'm a firm believer in equality.

Me neither, that would be awesome, I could spend it on the OEM Nav system!

Ditto

What would you expect a 5 series owner to be wearing when not driving to and from work then?

 

[Vigoro]

buy a clio like the one in my sig. 1.2, cheap to insure and run in my experience

What would you expect a 5 series owner to be wearing when not driving to and from work then?

Cords and tweed!

Or topless with gold!

what about a newer micra? cheap, but well...... yeah, they're cheap!

You can get early MK4 1.25s for about £600. I paid £900 for mine and it's risen in value since thanks to the scrappage scheme removing good serviceable cheap cars from the roads.

What would you expect a 5 series owner to be wearing when not driving to and from work then?

Polo shirts and beige trousers obviously

Beige Chinos, I think BMW won't sell you a 5 if you don't come into the dealership wearing a pair.

£600 isnt under £500 no is it? you would have to haggle with the guy

 

[Amoeba]

I'm sure the budget could be stretched!

 

[Janesy B]

£600 isnt under £500 no is it? you would have to haggle with the guy

Knock £50 off, add £50 to the budget. If you can't raise a small bit of cash, car ownership isn't for you.

 

[BD10NNF]

whoa just having a little dig like youve done to me before and i know that you could do that but if you dont have anymore cash then £600 is £100 too much

 

[Janesy B]

I wasn't recommending it though, I haven't said buy one. I was just telling you what they start out at.

 

[BD10NNF]

so why say it then and you should have found 1 for less than £500 and put a link up

 

[Janesy B]

I was agreeing with you on the fact that you can't get a good one for £500

Why would I recommend one for £500? Most are turds at that price.

What are you on about?

Go back to school/Get back under your bridge.

 

[BD10NNF]

ok well i apologize they are turds at anything below that price unless you are willing to do some work
