Its a shame you could only afford a secondhand Impreza, when you grow up and get some more money you might be able to stretch to one ..... please don't put yourself down that you could only afford £7,500 when I could put down £22,000 cash - you will get there one day! Chin up!

For 22k you could get an STI impreza . Paying my mortgage off is more important to me. Cars are secondary to me and boring also. If I need speed I just jump on my superbike.

I have no mortgage ...... carry on paying yours!!

Cars are boring to you are they?? So, you buy a secondhand car for £7500 when you could buy a VERY decent NEW car for less!!

You are making yourself look very stupid, you know??

You said you didn't know what PPP cost

I really wouldn't get too upset that you could only afford £7500 for a car, no-one is judging you on the fact that you have a big mortgage and cannot make ends meet, but want to try and play with the big boys!

Actually I have an offset mortgage and I have more money in my offset account than is actually left to pay on my mortgage = I can pay mortgage off now if I choose. I choose not to just yet as unlike you I am only 37. Could you pay your house off at 37? I doubt it. I am tight *** that enjoys buying cars for what they are really worth and letting someone else throw their money away first. Keep going its idiots like you that give me better lifestyle

Paid my mortgage off at 27, owned 12 houses by the time I was 35, sorry - ...... like I said, don't knock yourself down because you are behind and struggle to keep a note in your wallet.

Incidentally, I thought by the way you were writing that you were about 14 or 15 years old ..... sorry about that, ooooops!

Anyway, I'm off to bed now - don't keep putting yourself down, chin up old boy!!
