What did it cost? Is it being financed? Did you buy one brand new or is it used?

I'll start: I drive a brand new Mercedes-Benz B200.

A 2016 Corsa VXR, the chavvy version with a spoiler and bucket seats 😂 possibly a strange choice for a 42 year old woman but I love it.

I purchased it for £5000 cash last December.

What’s the point of this thread?

So the OP can be smug and show off that they have a new car

Peugeot 2008 16 plate. Bought outright. It's a workhorse

I have a 10 year old Insignia and a 17 year Peugeot 307 both owned outright. Never had car finance , I will run them both into the ground , scrap them and buy another.

Renault Arkana, new about two months ago.

Motability. Our third car via this route. We paid £1500 down, and DH's ADP goes to them every month.

I'll bite - I drive a 26 year old mazda mx5. I purchased it for just under £4K 1 6years ago.

It's only got 75K on the clock and is in mint condition - apart from a tiny patch of rot on one wheelarch that I need to fix.

I got a loan to buy it - £10 a week for 7 years - interest was really low and I think I paid about 400/400£ in interest in total.

I drive it on classic car insurance with limited miles which costs me the hefty sum of £75 a year.... but the VED is loads - nearly £24 a month I think?

I'm probably a bit of an anomaly though! :)
