cars can be cheep if you don't buy new.....

I bought a 156 new for £17000,

And then ****ed more than £17000 against the wall on it.

got 130000 miles out of it in 11 years at a cost of £1545 pa.

And if you hadn't actually been stupid enough to buy
that steaming turd on wheels, it would have most you
much less than that, for just petrol and tires etc.
