A second car isn't always cheap motoring though, you have to buy, tax, insure, maintain, MOT it as well.

i think it can be donr really cheap.

while on the subject of cars and insuring them etc.
can you pay off a new car insurance policy through paypal?
seen some companies do it, but not sure how limited it is?

I suppose theres logic in taxing each car for 6 months at a time and insuring it for 6 months at a time, swapping midway through the policy...

I bought my Corsa just after I sold my Vectra C. Going from a car that was 3 years old to the Corsa was a shock, but needed to at the time. Only expected to keep it for a bit till I saved up.
Fell in love with the cheap care free motoring. Honestly it is amazing. Went to fireworks other night down a tight muddy lane. Landrover Discoverys just managed it, corsa loved it, got scratched up, but hey, never mind.

i bought a cheap car before to make a profit off.
took it everywhere and anywhere. still made a nice ammount of money off it even with the scratches i put on it, and i even painted the sills outside with house paint and a brush to tidy them up
im going to enjoy driving this cheap runner because its a 1.9D. so it has some sort of grunt, unlike the 1.2 run about i had before.and this has a tow bar so i can do odd jobs and make a little money with this car
ive never owned a 5 door either so it will be nice not having to get out to leave people in the back

However,
buy a diesel at your peril.
You will no longer be able to call yourselves a petrol head!
