We are taking a friends dad's TVR tuscan with us to the ring in october, will see what needs doing then
Its done 20k, and had engine rebuild once, and just had brand new suspension

Is that the same engine that's in the saab? They are well known for going expensively wrong if it is.
I quite like they signums though.
If you don't mind that shape you can get a 58 vectra sri cdti 150 for 8k.

Arnold Clark again, I don't know the mileages though, they may all be high.

I would and have got in to debt for a car, as long as you can comfortably afford the repayments why not.
I wouldn't get in to debt for a Signum though

There's enough of them about as well.
Don't rule out the 1.9, it's also a good engine.

The v6 cdti's arnt as fast as you think. I imagine due to their displacement they will have the capability for a lot more power though with some different software

I personally wouldn't get into debt over any car, I'd walk or bike it first, but you are your own boss, if you think you can manage the monthly payments then go for it.

Yes, let's say you save a little bit of money up to pay it off, you could just do it, no loopholes against you etc...

Neither would any of us if we were mortgage free by 23 (or whatever!!) sadly it doesnt work like that for us non-entrepreneurial members.
I dont mind a bit of car finance, if you can borrow cheap enough and dont go ronnie moffet. It allows me to get the car I want while putting down cash enough for the one I dont really want. I'll probably always do it this way......at least until im mortgage free & have the disposable income (5-7yrs hopefully!) to do otherwise.
