Newer Cars!?

[Toms306]

Tom I don't think you need reminding that should you own a diesel car and it goes wrong again you won't be able to afford to fix it?!

A petrol car (much like the Yamaha 1.25-equipped Fiesta) is much, much less complicated and much, much more reliable. What you spend extra in fuel you will save on servicing and repairs, I guarrantee it.

Ok, maybe I didn't explain it enough to start with.

I use savings to purcahse and fix the car, if and when it should break. I use the current account money for fuel and food (if I don't earn enough in the week, I have to earn more the next week to make up the £60 for a tank of diesel a fortnight).

Whatever car I get will be expensive to fix, diesel or petrol, all dependant on which part has broken though obviously.

I can't physically earn enough in the week to spend more on fuel atm. But 'if' it were to break, and I was willing to fix it, that money would come from the savings. If that makes sense.
