Fiats mainly
My panda was £1500 so I just bought it.
The family Alhambra was £16000 and was bought with a Sainsbury's Bank loan (3%), will be cleared, finally, in November.

Won’t be saying that when you’ve got a 7 seater and your wife’s hung like a wind sock.

the cost of avoiding a 7 seater was £1996 last month...

It’s all about the total cost of ownership for me. I budget X amount of pounds per year for cars and work within that. If a loan is involved I make sure that the outstanding debt remains less that the cars value should I need to sell it to clear it quickly. Thankfully I’ve not had to do that before but you never know.
