Hes seen a lovely new car. His dad has viewed it and its good value, lovely blah blah blah.
I currently drive a beaten up old skoda (Volkswagon made) that cost me £250 and its been an absolute gem. Its safe too (once got hooked onto a bendy bus and was dragged 20 yards with no damage whatsoever). But its simply not attractive (and does have some damp issues). But it only costs me £50 a year as it always sails through its MOT.
I cant afford this new car, and Im quite happy with the old one. DP has said he will pay for the new one outright, and as he doesnt drive, it will be me that generally pays for the insurance/tax on it so I feel a little less like its charity.
I just feel
a) some of my independance is being lost by accepting this car
b) we have one already that, yes, looks shit, smells a bit etc but is a great economical car
c) About £1.5k of his 'buying a house fund' money will go towards it.
WWYD?
