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.

I've got a 13 plate Ford B-Max, bought outright for £4350 nearly 4 years ago

it's been a good solid car but the clutch is a bit dodgy now so looking to buy a new one soon and second hand cars are so expensive now so it'll be part cash and part finance

neilyoungismyhero · 26/05/2024 22:13

Peugeot 207cc...worst car I've ever owned it's on it's last legs but I love it in the summer with the lid off.
Bought it a few years ago second hand paid cash.

2016 ford fiesta, bought in 2019, paid for in cash. Quite fancy a puma but DH and DSs ridicule them. Anyone got one?

ellyfb · 26/05/2024 22:19

Me and DH alternate between my Abarth and his Ateca as we use the Ateca to take DD out and about. Both cars fully paid for. Abarth was £8000 second hand and the Ateca was around £22000 new

I wanted something compact and reasonably nippy so opted for a Pagani Utopia. Not the best on economy but it’s nice to have a little bit extra power when needed on the motorway.

HelpMeGetThrough · 26/05/2024 22:22

Ok, I'll go.

Brand spanker Toyota Hybrid. £34,000 not financed.

.... it's a company car.

Our own car. 9 year old Vauxhall, owned outright.

What’s the point of this thread?

Stealth boasting

I drive a Jaguar F Pace. Paid £30k for it 2 years ago however it’s secondhand (it was 3 years old when I bought it)

tttigress · 26/05/2024 22:36

I don't have a car (live in the centre of a city).

It does suprise me how much of peoples incomes they plow into cars. In my last job in the UK the guy sitting next to me had a BMW M3 and Range Rover shared between him and his wife. I know how much he earned and it didn't sound like his wife had a totally amazing job. He must have been plowing a third of the family income into car finance. At the time I had a VW Golf with well over 100k on the clock even though we were more or less on the same salary!!

There must be something about the angle of the headrests on Mercedes Benz that cuts off the bloody supply to the brain 😄...

Probably a bit mangled, but who said this - Stephen Fry maybe?

AgMaggy · 26/05/2024 22:42

A B200 is not a brag, they’re ugly as fuck. It’s the Merc badge catches the eye until people see the rest of it.

BMW 420i Sport convertible. Paid cash, my dog loves the top down

PiIIock · 26/05/2024 22:50

I can't believe anyone is replying to this LOL

Plus the fact basically everyone just wants to post about their car but nobody is interested in anyone else's😭

Lot of stealth boasting. Worst from OP, who didn't even provide any details of interest except that she drives a Mercedes. Guys, what are we doing? 😂

I have a knackered old beemer estate with 250k on the clock. Thinking of getting one of these next. Do you like it? Could you fit two greyhounds in it?

Data gathering.

There are loads of these threads these days

Is this a car version of soggy biscuit

grinandslothit · 26/05/2024 23:01

I don't drive anymore. I have a driver who drives me.

A black one.

It’s all mine.

DoctorAcula · 26/05/2024 23:24

Tesla model Y.

Don't own it, company car. I think it was around £50k brand new when I got it last year. Cost to me is around £20pm in tax. It's my first company car and I'm very grateful to have it, particularly since I wfh and have no need to travel for work.
