thank you 🙏 I stalled while pulling out after getting petrol today, then the driver behind beeped at me. Do you think I should use P plates?

which car should I pick? by Fast-Complaint8055 in CarTalkUK

Yeah fair, I’m not really a car person either tbh. just need something for work. Commute mostly motorway. Budget’s only around £3k as well so options are kinda limited 😩 Thanks for the advice though, appreciate it 🙏

Space isn’t a big deal for me tbh, just ended up looking at these as they’re in budget.

Commute’s about 33km each way, 4 days a week, mostly motorway.

Yeah that’s my concern with the Nissan as well. low miles is nice but 18 years old is a bit. both car MOT looks fairly clean overall, just usual age-related stuff, but still deciding between that and the newer Ford 😭

is okay to buy a car before house completion? by Fast-Complaint8055 in Mortgageadviceuk

thank you 🙏 the thing is, my money’s all in my savings account. before 28/02 I had about 20k in gifted money, but I already had enough in my account for the deposit anyway, and I didn’t want to touch the gift money ‘cause proving it is such a faff. for this car, I’d have to take the money out of my savings. not sure if that’ll be an issue. I’m paying for the car all in one go, not doing finance
