I have cash in my savings account, I could pay the insurance and buy the car in one foul swoop no problem. (I did dip into £500 of my savings for the Xray + Set up, Something I never said I'd do but hey ) But I was kinda banking on this been my house deposit
The reason I haevnt already bought a nice car, IS because of the reason you guys state, I dont use a car enough, Doule edged sword though, As IF i was doing 25k a year, I couldnt afford to run it.
I'm confident I could run the M3 or Mk5 Golf, But I wouldnt be as comfortable as I am now. If I wanted a new R/C I'd buy it. ID I wanted a £200 pair of jeans, I go buy them. I spend £250 a month on food and protein shakes for my diet etc, ID have to make alot of sacrifices, (Shop in Primark and sell my R/C's ) but could afford it. I think lol.
I budget my money in sections, I could still afford the Slash easily, but it would have to come out of another section of my wages and im not letting that happen.
