View it like this mate, you aren't spending 50k, you are simply storing it in a car rather than a bank or house.

BUY ONE, haggle hard, get it as cheap as possible, ensure you have done your homework on them (ie don't buy one due a service!!)

Then have fun, look after it and in a year or so when you have had enought, sell it, you wont lose to much on it and you will have done it.

Then you can do something a little more sensible.

A bit scary, but remember, your not giving it away, you can always sell it
