its not as black and white as that....
thats over 8 years or so....
I couldn't of afforded 78k or been given a 78k loan for a car 8yrs ago.... and i wouldnt i think i would be now
Once Fiona starts getting decent wages i might opt for a 'real' car a new or newish 911 
I just dont want to get into heaps of debt just now to buy a car when you can spend 10k on a jap import and have a hell of a lot of fun.
I would 100% NOT do the corsa again.... it isnt worth it. I could have a feckin mental spec westie kitcar type thing.... hindsight.... but i think i've been in too far to just abandon it.
My engine can be swapped as it the most valuable bit....
The corsa would still be as good with a stdish c20xe in.
