No suggestions?
I've taken a look around some of the local dealers
here but their pricing is astronomical. I mean who
would pay 260,000 for a 12 year old honda civic?

guess i have two hopes ... "bob" and "no"

Stay away from dealers and buy privately if you have the money and an ounce of mechanical knowledge. If not, surely you know someone who is mechanical and could give a motor the once-over for you.

The alternative is to buy brand new and get the best (? zero-interest)finance package you can, perhaps over four years to reduce the repayments, then use your capital to make a deposit and augment the interest-free repayments and enjoy the reliability and cache of a new car with minimal repair/maintenance bills ! You may be surprised to find that it's often better value to buy new, and have the reassurance of a manufacturer warranty to boot !

Happy motoring ! :)

Thanks for the input. Did think about going new but didnt like the long term repayments idea, my income is variable so wouldnt want to be broke if I had a bad month. Also who knows when Mr T is going to change something else to make our lives harder here.
