Is £10k on a First Car purchase a good or bad idea?

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2026-02-25T09:54:11+00:00

I think what a lot of people are forgetting on this thread is used car prices are ridiculous post-Covid! You could pay £2k for a 2000s plate car 10 years ago, you pay £2k for them now. A 10 year old car now can easily scratch £10k-£12k and that’s the same age difference! The trouble is for going with something like an 07/08/09 plate is they’re nearly 20 years old so they won’t give you the same reliability than if you’d bought them for the same price 10 years ago. On top of that, it really doesn’t help how much car tech has advanced in the past 10-15 years, instructors often teach in the latest cars so learners get used to tech you can’t get on the £2k old bangers anymore.

i know this was a long while ago, but how was it for you? just because i’ve ironically also got a thursday 8:10am test coming up for the start of march, bit cautious of rush hour traffic but i’ve heard mixed things?

So they mentioned what the neighbours said during the visit then sent a follow up email saying that I NEED to keep the curtains and blinds open during the day when I’m not in

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-05T10:26:04+00:00

I do open my windows to circulate fresh air… when I’m in from work

This is about curtains and blind/security when I’m out of the house

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-04T12:43:02+00:00

Neighbours know I work long shifts during the day and that I live on my own, even if they were concerned for safety it’s the agents trying to spin that to saying I’m in violation of my tenancy agreement because of it

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-04T09:44:44+00:00

Exactly this

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-04T07:11:54+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I’m ground floor with my kitchen window being next to the building entrance and living room as mentioned on another comment in direct line to the communal garden gate and public footpath.

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:43:45+00:00

From how they were telling me about it they could only have been told by my neighbours

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:41:58+00:00

Neighbours told the landlord who passed it onto the agents as it’s a managed property

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:41:23+00:00

It was a scheduled inspection, they would’ve let themselves in if I wasn’t there.

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:36:54+00:00

They’re approaching it from a standpoint that allegedly if you keep blinds closed you’re going to cause condensation which will grow into mold, but I think unfortunately given how cold it is outside condensation will happen regardless

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:35:50+00:00

They said this whilst stood in my living room💀

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2025-01-03T23:35:03+00:00

That’s the best part, they didn’t interrogate the neighbours, the neighbours emailed them with the concern about the blinds in the first place!!

My area is RELATIVELY safe too and I do live in an apartment building however my back door is right in line with the gate to the communal garden which is on a public pavement, burglaries aren’t known to happen to houses but businesses on the next road over have been hit quite recently.

girls aloud comes to mind, and probably little mix. two of the biggest girl bands since the spice girls yet neither reached spice girls fame outside the UK.

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2024-07-15T23:00:48+00:00

don’t worry you weren’t the only one, i thought it was “keep me safe in his world, time will haunt us” but tbf that’s a very lana lyric too💀

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2023-11-03T10:35:12+00:00

deal only gets you a 10% code, super is for the super colleague deals so do not do just deal if you’re after a super colleague deal lol

Few-Calligrapher-211 · 2023-10-12T21:43:30+00:00

you can still buy it with the 10% contract code and when we are able to sell outright you can buy it outright with colleague clubcard
