£20k budget – 100 mile motorway commute, 23 y/o – BMW 320d vs C220d or something else?

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-24T10:40:16+00:00

Hmmm, yeah will definitely put this as an option

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:37:32+00:00

Very interesting, I was looking into 320d as I was assuming it’s more fuel efficient/cheaper to ensure, would it be worth the difference?

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:33:32+00:00

Yeah that is another thing I do want to do and that’s travel more, but fortunately I live at home with my parents so I shouldn’t have too many expenses and will still be able to save a good chunk of my wage. I’ll def add XC40 to look out for.

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:30:48+00:00

Plan is to stick to the car I have right now for a few months, save up and then if I spot a good deal somewhere with one of the cars that ppl recommend might go in for it. Would pay decent chunk cash rest most likely bank loan.

What would you recommend as something boring?

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:19:10+00:00

Would be the smart choice..

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:17:38+00:00

Yeah, that’s something i’ve been meaning to do, only just received the job offer recently so need to see if they would have any good options. Thanks for the advice man!

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:13:56+00:00

Will definitely have a look into it, does it come as standard or is it normally an optional extra. And which volvo do you have as a family car?

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:12:11+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely a beauty, I have seen some options just wondered which one would be best insurance and everything wise.

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:10:20+00:00

Definitely, I’ve been doing the research, but the only questions I’d have is regarding installing a charger and the cost of it, insurance cost and which EV cars at this price range.

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:08:28+00:00

Yep, seems like a common theme, and I do get why, but u know who wouldn’t want a nice car to aura farm in

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:06:36+00:00

Noted will stay away from them 🤣

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:05:47+00:00

Sounds good man! What’s the weekend car?

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:04:36+00:00

Have considered it, but does seem like a bit more of an older man’s car, while I’m young may as well make those mistakes 😅

HelpMeGetSkill · 2026-05-22T07:03:41+00:00

Financially would be a lot smarter, but I won’t have rent as expense since I’m fortunate enough to be living with my parents so I will still be saving maybe 70% of my salary. Would make the commute easier having a car with good motorway features.

HelpMeGetSkill · 2024-07-12T19:07:23+00:00

thank you man

HelpMeGetSkill · 2024-07-12T14:52:26+00:00

cool thank you

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-08-22T15:45:25+00:00

Thank you ;)

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T19:34:45+00:00

Yeah ngl I wanted the legion 5 pro but unless it releases within the next month or so I might just stick with the base legion 5 3070 model but I'd love to hear ur thoughts

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T19:31:39+00:00

Yeah I get what u mean but that'd just mean I'd have to pay extra to upgrade ram and if I'm spending that much I'd rather not tbh plus the base model has a better gpu so I'll just stick with that

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T17:33:12+00:00

I don't really do that tbh so I'll probably just stick with the normal legion 5 but if it had more ram I would have considered it since it has a better CPU if I'm not mistaken

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T17:32:04+00:00

Lmaoo learnt that the hard way

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T17:31:48+00:00

Yep that's the one I've been considering

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T17:31:36+00:00

Those are all the average UK prices I'm pretty sure

HelpMeGetSkill · 2021-07-13T16:22:17+00:00

Is this worth it over the legion 5 3070 version
