All but two were manuals and the biggest bill i have ever had was a Fuel Pump on a TDI Golf which was £400 . Never had a car newer than 2 years old , most 5-7 years.

That's a combination of buying wisely and plenty of fortune  :happy2:

'If you look after your cars, they generally look after you..." goes a long way, after buying sensibly of course.

I wouldn't have dreamed of buying a car with 54k miles on, but it was my MK5 GTI at the time and the only thing's that needed replacing were small components under used car warranty. The one thing that was outside warranty was the air con compressor and if that hasn't yet been replaced on your MK5, expect it to go tomorrow  :signLOL: :grin: :laugh: :wink:

After selling my Ed30 stage 2, I went for something sensible (330d Touring) which served me well for 12 months, but I got the hankering for something more powerful and fun, so ended up getting a MK7R in June 2014 instead (3dr DSG White).

I had 2 choices use £32K of my property fund and buy the car or lease it.

I decided to Lease it and glad I did as 8 months after I got the car a house came up locally for sale for a steal which I bought. (average street price of house is £365K, I paid £240K, add to that £12-15K renovation, this is something I would not have been able to do had I lumped £32K into a new car.

It is also a double whammy as VW released the R estate which is perfect for me (More room for my sports equipment) and much easier to fit kitchens and bathrooms in the back of an estate  :signLOL:

Come January I will no doubt be ordering the R wagon on lease as it suits my requirements for capital retention and general crap moving duties  :happy2:

can't seem to find any lease deals on an R but you can still get the hatches for £2500 down and £250 a month or there abouts.

Skoda Octavia vRS is where my  money would go these days. £1500 deposit and £199 a month.

Or try a brand new Peugeot 208 gti 208ps for £1500 down and £59 a month I know its a pug but dirt cheap

lol no way? That is one hell of an offer.

TBF to the 208 GTI, the new one gets rave journo reviews and Evo gave it 5 stars because it's the closest modern thing to the 205 GTI's spirit they said  :rolleye:
