However just like any thing financial, why would you take some thing out that you couldnt afford if things go belly up?

Companies can and do suddenly go bust without any warning to employees sadly 🙁

Which is why I can't get my head around buying or leasing something 'new' due to the 'risk' of something potentially going wrong and saddling me with a huge bill.

I'm a firm believer in bangernomics and my current banger, Saab 9-5 estate 2.3t, does everything I want at an anticipated total cost (excl. fuel) of <£150 a month for the first year including purchase price . Would have been less but I've just forked out £400 for a replacement turbo and service. If I get another year out of it the cost will obviously come down ....... if something expensive goes wrong it's not the end of the world.
