As much as i'd love to, i use the car to get to work and back each day, and the MOT is due in 4 months and its gonna need alot of work to get through this time round (got rust forming on areas that will require welding), so its either going to be expensive repairs or some sort of 2nd hand car thats in decent condition that i can keep for another 4-5 years like I have with my current car which was the plan.

I know i said new car, but what i didnt actually mean brand new of the forecourt as I agree with the depreciation comment.
