If you want something half decent then yes.  You'll be looking at early 140's which are known for their chocolate turbo's.......

Although by now they should have been replaced unless they haven't failed already.......

You're spending borrowed student money on a car?

Sounds idiotic to me.  Pick up a banger and don't get into debt would make a lot more sense.

The rest of the money is mine and I'm living at home and commuting not spending it on rent. By that logic getting a mortgage and buying a house is also idiotic right?

No as a house will only increase in value; cars depreciate 

Renting is wasted money but that's an argument for another topic

If I was living at uni though I would be spending 350 a month on renting is the point I was trying to make

Instead you're living with Mummy and Daddy and not gaining life experience, but swanking about in a car.

Last time I checked that wasn't the point of university, but maybe you're special.

Nice one for being the guy to ruin a thread by being an opinionated gimp

[Diamond Hell]

Ahhh - you ARE special.

We're here for life advice as well as sarcasm, you know.
