Thanks for the cars, Dave. Keep them coming! Wife says 2004 is a bit old, but the 2004 Astra I bought was not rusty, just neglected with a sump full of sludge.

You either by older/higher mileage cars for chips or you buy a nearly new car that needs next to no work. A pre registered Insignia is sub £14k and will last longer than all the 16 dogs you'll buy for the same money.

If you can afford to, then at least buy summat half decent and get the kids to buy their own transport. It will do you all the world of good.

I suspect you're right about buying a decent car, my wife certainly thinks so. Where would I buy a pre-registered Insignia for £14K? My sister, by he way, is buying an ex-Mobility Corsa 3 years old for £11K.
Only Insignia I ever drove was a hire car that brought our Canadian cousins here. I couldn't find the handbrake and had to enquire where it was. I think it turned out to be electric. Was it an Insignia you brought to the Omega meeting where we met?

It was, possibly the 4x4 estate...

Anyway, the example I suggested is at Picador Vauxhall Lyndhurst. It's on their website and having walked past it at the weekend it had £14,995 splattered across the side of it as a '68 pre registered offer...

If you don't need a big car, you can get a brand new Viva for £7,995

I returned to Culham yesterday, to play golf and table tennis with old chums, after a 6 month absence due to ill health. I was cheered talking to Malcolm Kear, whose Jaguar had failed MOT due to rust in cills. Car cost him £3k a year ago, and the repair cost him £650.
