This may come as a shock to some of you who know me and how much I worship my car, but I'm getting to a stage in my finances where it's becoming difficult and also at a stage where I would like to move out from my parents house. To enable me to do this I would probably have to sell my beloved car :( I say probably, because I am going to do as much as is physically possibel not to sell him as it really woud break my heart, but like I said I sat down earlier with my bloke and worked out my finances - needless to say it was rather shocking and unfortunately the reason for the majority of my credit card debt & one loan is my car.
Now when thinking of alternative cars my preferences are: has to be a medium sized car as smallest (feel unsafe in small cars), has to have ABS and power steering (& preferably electric windows although not a must). It cannot be something that is going to cost a bomb for me to insure (max. group 15) but I also want something pretty reliable and that the parts aren't massively pricy. I will not have anything that is french, Rovers or Italian cars and to an extent I'm not keen on Fords, Vauxhalls or Saab's. (I am a fussy bugger when it comes to cars :rolleyes: ). I would be looking to spend a maximum of about £2000, but would prefer (if possible) something that is newer-ish (P-reg or newer).
I know this is a pretty tight requirement list, but I haven't really come up with a lot. Just wondered what you guys on here could suggest. And like I said this really only a prospective list as I hope not to sell my car.(fingers crossed)
Many thanks
