I know a bloke who does alright for himself, not loaded but does well enough to buy his son's a 1.4 Petrol Golf MK6 some years back for £9K cash and gave his other son his MK6 Bluemotion and paid the 7.5K finance off so not exactly short of a few quid.
Had an X5 but swapped it for a Tiguan and has a 911 in the garage.
He's just bought a Fiat Panda as a run about because he likes them....
Can see why, cheap car with warranty just to chuck sh!t down the tip and the like and not worry about it.
