It's my cousin's birthday today, she works at our family business selling cars...I've been thinking about getting a new car as I need something a bit higher for my gammy hip, but it's just been a bit of a thought...anyhow, gave Cuz her card and mentions my musings, had a look round, said I'd got £3k lying round doing nothing, took a £2k Picasso for a run round the block then she showed me the C-Max...anyway, upshot is I've leased a brand new C-Max Zetec TDCI that is worth more than I paid for my house, get it replaced every 2 years for as long as I keep the agreement going, never gonna need an MOT, always under warrranty and I got good family discount on the monthly payments too - and I get to stay on the garage insurance that I've been on since I was 17...

Impulsive??? Moi????

That's how I buy my cars! Went to get two cooked bbq chickens from ASDA and ended up buying a BMW 318i from the garage next door.

Maybe I should try leasing in future.

Did something similar myself years ago, my cousin worked at a garage and she was going to my Mums that evening. So I dropped in my Stepdads Birthday card. I walked out with a Volve 740 estate and drove it to France that evening. Enjoy your new brum brum lol

Yup done that too

Went to Trafford Centre shopping and just thought I'd pop into the garage cos I wanted to see what a DS3 looked like inside.

I liked them, well in particular I liked one and hence came out £13,000 poorer than I had been half an hour before.

Never got to The Trafford Centre.

Didn't see the point. I didn't need anything and I'm just not the frivolous type

Well not a car but did that once with a house

Just thought I'd have a nose at some new houses that were being built down the road from where we was living while at the time before i nipped out shopping and said yes to one after looking around a show home

Was going to phone hubby to tell him what I had done but thought I'd best wait for him to come home to tell him

13,000 grand well spent I'd say - fantastic looking cars. I had a Mustang in mind, but went to Car People and plumped for an Hyundai instead
