New 2nd hand car

[stevewool]

Why am i looking when i dont think i need another car, and when i do look there is nothing that jumps out at me either.
May be it was having the new car on holiday that made me think wow my car is so old, all the new gadgets now that you can have on your car.
So over the last week or so i have been looking, there are so many boring cars out ther and lets face it what do we do in them, go to work and go to the shops.
Its not like years ago where the car was everything you used it for your holidays getting from A to B and so on, so do i want a car to sit outside my house on the road and to sit at work too, yes it may look nice but a few thousand pound looks nice in the bank too.
My car i can leave anywhere and if it does get dented or marked at the supermarket its not the end of the world but spending that much money on your new toy well i would have a fit.
So do i really want a new 2nd hand car , i shall still look and still keep running the toyota, maybe i may wait till the MOT, thats only a few months away.
Now do i want a new 2nd hand camera bag, well yes i do the other one has broke, but can i fix it

Steve, why would you want a new Car, To Pose ? for me so long as i can get in my Car, and it gets me from A to B then thats it, it does its job, Im pretty sure that you are much the same...

And whenever i do get another Car, i go straight to Ebay, follow certain guidelines that i have, 1. firstly that the seller must have sold more than 100 Items, and secondly that he/she must have a feedback score of 95% positive the closer to 100% positive it is, the better the chance of having no issues with the purchase, and thirdly Under £1000, The last two Cars i brought was a Renault Scenic DCI, sold as spares or repair, with 3/4 months Tax and MOT it cost me £185 and the National Express fare to North Devon Hahaha, it had 3/4 Tank of Diesel which was worth 50 Quid, i had that Car 2 years, The second again a Renault Scenic DCI i brought for i think for £150, it was sold as a none runner, my mate drove me to Cheltenham we took a Battery with us, we put our Battery on turned the key and it started Hahahaha (Non Runner) the Owners looked on in amazement, Grrrrrrr i had to put some Diesel in this one it was showing empty poor show, i had that one until the Clutch went 18 months ago..

Whereas some like to say how much there Car cost, I like to say how little mine cost me, I think the most Iv ever paid for any Car is £650.

That's it Harry I don't want a new car, but my car is now 18 years old and I have had it for 16 years, it's a little worn now, but still it goes, like I have said wait till the mot and if it goes through well all is well, if not we'll it's the to check my plans.

Good thing people kept all of those great cars that are classics now.
The age is irrelevant if it's doing its job and is affordable, IMO.

Dammit , when I think of some of the great reliable motors I've sold on for peanuts .
