Well, on the back of my recent car troubles (see last entry) we have decided to spend money! :o Having looked around for a bit we have decided on a 5 year old Mazda 323 1.6 GSi. Not a particularly exciting motor but it has a reputation for reliability and in my opinion it offers a good package with all the mod cons you would expect in a modern car (air con, ABS, CD player etc etc) but you don’t see many of them about which I think gives it a bit of exclusiveness.

All in all we we’re after a car which won’t let you down and that will give us some trouble free motoring for a few years, soon I will be getting a company car which means I can ditch my old Ford escort which has faithfully served me for 30 000 of it’s 180 000 miles!!! :o

This is the most I’ve ever spent on a car in my life, I’ve never been in a position to buy anything of any value before and to be honest I have been reluctant to borrow until now, but I’m in a good job and all my other debts are paid off so I decided to borrow a bit to get this car. It took me all of five minutes to get a loan for 3000 pounds, who said getting credit was getting harder?? :lol: My Bonus next month should hopefully mean that this debt won’t hang around for too long.
