when you've got loads of plans and nice things you want to do to your car and then you have to spend money fixing it! Ive been saving up for ages to buy a suspenion kit for mine, now one of my electric mirrors has decided to stop working, some t**s put a big scrape in my wing which will cost Â£150 and my central locking is still playing up!

plus ive got to around to getting my air conditioning regassed and a new back bumper at some point.

when will she ever get slammed!!

That's always the case when you buy 2nd hand cars, but at the end of the day you must have known what you're getting into when buying a car. If you can't afford to, maybe it's time to sell up.

I got into over 1k in debt the first day of my summer holidays after a backbox came off a van and straight into my car. Didn't get his details so had no hope in hell. If that wasn't the car I'd probably have had heaps done to my car
