Jay.......Have you taken into account insurance costs for any of the abovementioned cars,this will be fairly hefty for someone of your age and will eat into your budget big time.....
Not being a killjoy mate but i`m an old fooker and my cossie costs me the equivalent of £74 a month to insure,so you have to take ALL the running costs into account,not just purchase price etc.....
No use having a car that you love on the path when you can`t afford to fuel the fooker up.....
Like i say.....Not being a killjoy,just realistic and don`t want you to fall into the same traps the rest of us have no doubt fallen into in the past...
