We have decided to get ourselves a new car. Yes a shiny, made in 2007, pretty red NEW car!
My poor old Camira is on her last legs (shes 20 years old!) and last service our mechanic, aka the greek god as dubbed by all our women friends who know him, told us "you really need to start looking for a new car". I suppose when your mechanic tells you to start looking for a new car its time to start looking for a new car ;D
So over the last 6 months I have been checking out whats on the road and have noticed a lot of Mazda 3s. Have asked a few mechanics etc I know and got the great car, good price answer. Have had to have a wee chat with OG who said, "well I am not sure if I want a brand new car" as we have to be able to pay for it, not sure if I want to pay the much yada yada yada.
So OG starts discussing it with his mtes who told him to wait til Jun (yay its june) and get one then at the end of the financial year.
So we approached the bank - and they said , we will give you more money than you are asking for if you want

But we had decided on a set limit (20k). They didnt bring out the rack, thumbscrews, nor consult the "how to torture a loan applicant spanish inquisition guidelines.

It was scarily easy.
I have found a car, we are off to check it out soon, it is within set spending parameters and the salesman says I should get a good trade in on the camira.
