This is the first time I have had to buy one on my own, although the previous one was in my name because my OH had Parkinsons - and I am hoping I have done the right thing!
We have always had VW Polos, and the current one is 10 years old, lives outside and is a bit damp inside (which causes demisting problems) and has no parking sensors. I felt that I would feel safer in a newer car with some modern refinements.
I have found one which has parking sensors and only has 11,000 on the clock in spite of being registered in Oct 2019. My SIL is a mechanic and he has looked at it for me and thinks it is worth the money and that I am getting a fair deal on my old car.
It is still a large chunk out of my savings, but I felt that I needed to have a car I would feel more secure about in order to be out and about. I live a long way from the nearest town.
I just hope I have done the right thing!
