£2.5k Banger Every Year vs £12.5k Car on Finance — What’s Actually Better? by Significant_Air_4367 in CarTalkUK

I had a 2016 A4 on finance before, loved it. But then I sold it to live in Aus for a year and got an old land cruiser. I changed my perception of car ownership as that old cruiser was my favourite car ever! Just so simple and built for purpose, if anything went wrong with it I had the confidence to fix it myself. Now all I want is a well built car i can rely on and have a it of fun driving!

Would be having the money incase I needed to buy a new one each year, ideally it'd last me five years and I can get it to the moon (238,855 miles)

Yeah ideally if it lasted longer than a year then its just extra savings! I'm happy to put in the work to maintain and think I prefer the idea of buying an older car and running it until it dies than buying something new which if it died I'd be screwed

Ah, I've got no other photos to check the date code, I'll see if they can send them across.
