Car PCP

the maoster:
I park my car which is probably worth less than a grand in the works car park on a Monday morning beside all the F Paces, M 5’s, Range Rover Sports etc and I feel no envy whatsoever. A car has only ever been a method to get to and from work without getting my hair wet for me.

It’s all about priorities I suppose, I’d never criticise anybody who pays a significant percentage of their wage towards a car, but it’s just not for me. Now, motorcycles on the other hand……. :smiley:

Got to agree mate, if I can t afford to pay for something nowadays, I just don’t buy it.
Both our cars are valued under 5k apiece, both of which I bought at trade.
When I sold my Navara after 4 or 5 years,.I actually made a small profit on it.

I’ve had some good (and too bloody expensive) cars in the past when I was younger, but the fact that I have lost lots of interest in cars, and the lessons that I learned after bankruptcy many years ago, my view is …why spend in excess of 20k on a car, when I can get a one for a fraction of that, which does the self same job, and is equally as reliable
.
Not really into bikes like you as you know, but I’d think nothing of spending money on a bloody good holiday, or on my social life,.rather than on a car.
