Good on you mate. I was the same as you. Always refused to buy a brand new car. Threw the head up last year, sold my flint grey saf cos (after an abundance of problems), sold my fiesta rst and my merkur xr4ti and went an bought a new Fiesta ZS TDCI. Best move i ever made. Was cheap to run and reliable etc. But just last week i got bored of how slow it was and traded it in for a Fiesta ST2 and i know in my head now that i can never see myself in anything over 5yrs old ever again. Too much hassle and breaking down running costs, a nee car is actually easier to live with ��
