So..
The other week I very, very nearly pushed the button on a 3 series (after deciding thanks to STW that I need an estate).
However, the wife and I are thinking we should be more sensible and maybe only commit to £monthlypayment after we know what our mortgage payments will be (coming to the end of our first time buyers 4.8% 2 yr fixed).
Anyway, currently the only car we have is a BMW 3 series coupe worth about £5.5k – £6.5k.
My wife is learning to drive and despite our car regularly having L plates on it (looks wrong) she doesn’t want to take her test in it and doesnt want to worry about scratching it once she’s passed and is driving on her own.
So.. I was thinking of perhaps buying her a £1k Renault scenic or something to continue to learn it and then drive (with mini RRR inside) once she’s passed.
But then that leaves the dilemma of what to do with the current bimmer? It’s been super reliable and i love driving it , but – we really don’t need two cars and it’s becoming increasingly impractical too.
Should we just buy a cheapy car for the wife, sell the bimmer and pay off some debts? Will I regret our only car being a £1k thingy?!
