Ian speaks sense, can get alot of car for money for a few months and just put the hours in. Modeo's deisels are pretty much best £ for £ for joey's i've got a few mates who buy them 18 months olkd and keep them for 3 years and then start again.

What you said
I went into carcraft last night with no intention to get anything, took no ID/bank details or anything with me. The prices online are doubled when you get in there, I even said to the salesman when he said how did you get on, I said pfft its expensive init... and he said yeh, double the money and laughed, so he didnt even try and sell to me.
Ive got the option of borrowing £3k from family, use my Mk4 Astra and get the GF a cheap Corsa, think im going to just use the Astra to be honest and just put money away.
Thanks for all the comments though.
