Cause I don't!! And I suspect that DP doesn't either.
DP has just passed his test and cannot wait to get his puddy little mits on a motor. A motor of any description it seems. Costing around 200-400 so he can buy it right away . He is not worried about service history, although he will ensure it has an MOT. I have asked him to get either his father or my S-father to come and check any cars over. I have also told him I thought you should never buy a car without a full service history? He says most people just don't bother with those after the warrenty runs out.
We are in financial dire straits at the moment, I have just gone back to work, have not been getting enough shifts and it turns out our money arrangements work out to be grossly unfair on me. He is not trying to sort that out though! We do not know exactly how much money I will get each month as I have not gone back 'properly' IYSWIM, am just booking in for shifts as and when I can. We cannot afford a car in our monthly bills atm.
Basically I would rather save up for a few months to afford a more decent car. One that has got a full service history and is not likely to crash with our 8 month old baby in the back. That should be most important, shouldn't it? I am having real issues persuading him that this should be the case though. BTW, he wants to use this car to get to and from work (works shifts) which is a 20 minute train ride away and his transport is free .
