Right, seeing as we seem to have an abundance of driving threads today, I think we shall have another, though with a slightly different angle which might be relevant for some other people too.
Having recently passed my test, I’m in the position where I’m considering buying a car in the not too distant future, but basically have no clue where to look, what to look for and basically just most of the general things about maintaining a car. I’ll need one for August/September time when I need to be travelling from Hull to York on a daily basis for a course I want to do, so I guess I’m going to be looking in the summer, but wanted to find out a bit more in advance, which is where OTF comes in.
So yeah, any information on the likely cost of purchasing a car, how much it would cost to run it, all of the other extra things that you have to pay for etc would be handy. Should I be looking at new or used ones, if used, where would I be best looking? I don’t need anything great, but at the same time I’d be prepared to spend a bit more if it meant that it wouldn’t be breaking down every five minutes.
Any particular cars that you would recommend or say would be best to avoid? Is there a particularly good time to buy?
Any other dos and don’ts that I should bear in mind, no matter how seemingly obvious? Any useful websites etc would be appreciated too.
