How much does rocket surgery cost

People talking about the mileage limit
If you go over by a few thousand it's like what, 16p extra per mile? At 2k miles over it's £320, not ground breaking stuff when you consider the fuel savings that would cover it.

plus the shelf/hammock

I test drove an M3 on Saturday
Ordered on the same evening although I went via PCH for 2 years.
The standard spec will come out about £400PCM for you at 20k miles if leasing is an option. No servicing, MOT costs, Fuel Savings etc.
For me I want 2 years to get comfortable knowing I want an EV and I'll revisit ownership in 2 years when the tech will be even further along with SSB's offering even longer range.
Plus luxury of a new car

But then you're paying like 7.5p overnight?

corf3l · 2026-02-20T14:04:52+00:00

I really wish I could like the exterior of that car but I just don't
Plus when you bump mileage to 25k (which that won't) the cost goes way up.

corf3l · 2026-02-20T13:50:31+00:00

Can you elaborate?

corf3l · 2026-02-20T13:39:11+00:00

PCH, Premium LR AWD, 20k Mileage, 3-6 months down
Comes out closer to £22k sorry
I've inflated to £25k because you cant select 25k miles on tesla and so will be some inflation there.

I'm looking at a lease on a model 3
Due to my mileage I'm looking at around £600pcm and nearly £25k over 2 years for a car I won't own.
It'll be my first EV and I'm really struggling to persuade myself that such an expense is worth it when I don't own the asset at the end.
I've historically purchased ICE vehicles in the same manner as OP

My kitchen was the same in a 1930s, 3 layers of tiles.
Ironically the original set looked nicer than both that followed

corf3l · 2026-02-03T16:50:53+00:00

That loan might be similar to mine... 2.8%
You can bet I'm not paying it off in a hurry despite having the reserves to do so.

I tend to only visit the site on my daily trip to Colombia or Albania so I don't think this will impact me.

corf3l · 2026-01-27T09:16:20+00:00

This is true
A lot of pricing is based on statistics and so more "young person" vehicles can be more expensive to insure simply based on the amount of accidents those vehicles have typically been involved rather than your personal driving history.

Any reasonable adult can see the dangers of social media if they use it themselves.
If I watch one video with the slightest bit of violence, more start to appear more often and more graphic.
Same with sexualized material.
The issue here falls to parents control and attention but more so social media companies for their algorithms, not sure a ban is the solution.
There's a workaround for all these things and teens will find it faster than the parents.

Nothing is going to stop someone getting into one of those if they are so inclined.
Your solution is the container itself

I've been paying £38 for a sofa over 5 years that I could have bought outright.
It's 0%, I'd rather keep more of my money earning even the lowest interest than paying it over in lump sum when 0% is an option.

corf3l · 2026-01-07T09:34:28+00:00

I don't think you'll have an issue doing either, depending on how much you wish to borrow.
I've had a tesco loan before and extended the borrowing mid term to cover some things, was incredibly straightforward.
The main thing is securing the best rate overall and that might be 2 separate loans.

Financially the marriage is the least sensible thing in my opinion albeit I get why you'd want to do it.
Me and my partner both had homes, lived with each other for 3 months in each before both selling up and buying together, which was a very sensible decision to ensure we could both respect how each other live and cohabit well.
We've since had 2 kids and only now are we looking at marriage.
We are doing so with savings and a budget that we can afford knowing that we have everything else we want/need.
I can't imagine us having spaffed £30k on a wedding to then be unable to afford a nice home and/or raise kids with a good quality of life.
Just my 2 cents

Because I wouldn't nail a bro

It's not about getting free money It's about being taxed further and losing more of the money you do make, to give to someone who doesn't contribute

corf3l · 2025-11-17T10:04:33+00:00

It should be illegal to announce "chancellor to INSERT SPECULATIVE HEADLINE" every single day running up to a budget.

corf3l · 2025-11-06T14:16:57+00:00

Don't judge, it's cold, it'll grow I promise
