Never had a decent car. Currently driving a 1994 Citroen. And have had it for 7 years now and it's only broke down once in that time from a flat battery. Saying that it has it's MOT in February.
Reason I won't get a new car is because at my last mot the bloke was amazed I only did 2000 miles since the last mot. This is normal for me as I run and walk a lot and work locally, I could probably get away without having a car if I had to. So no way would I spend X amount on a car that would sit in my driveway losing value every day.
