the first time i've ever had something i've posted ripped apart quite like that though, kinda fun.
and no, the tax thing is just a nice bonus. and she got it on a great finance deal, in fact i think she got a great deal... but that all depends on when you buy ... like end of the month and what they have in etc....
i wanted a second hand focus, but after seeing this i quite fancy getting one as it means i can get a much newer car, which as i pointed out before, is more peace of mind about problems etc. perhaps i'm just not trusting. and yeah, i understand buying new cars can also be a bit of a lottery. i just wanted to point out i think it's a great car for the price. of course, everyone else is likely to disagree.
2nd hand focus for £7.5k with cheap insurance and low tax... pretty much any pre 03 focus that isnt a 2.0L i guess. still, if you think that a good deal on finance is a good reason to buy that car, then fair enough :]
