Does anyone “know” cars or has been in this position before?
We’ve decided to get a second car. We have enough spare cash a month to fund finance of around £190/200 and so could afford a small new car on pcp. This would need no MOT and would have warranty.
Husband thinks we should buy an older car around £4000 and take a loan.
I’m also toying with buying a much older car around £1000 and running it into the ground. My question really is which is the sensible option. I know people who have had bangers and driven them for years with no issues and yet our other 5 year old car has already cost us 1k in repairs! We could have a bigger, older, higher spec car with the risk of repairs or buy a small, new, low spec with warranty.
Any advice?
