I've said many times on here you may be surprised what you can come home with for £4,000 these days. £14k opens up hundreds of possibilities.

Spot on jamie, been looking around for a few weeks with my daughter, sussing out the market. There is a lot of metal available for £5k+ especially if you are prepared to haggle.Enter Mrs Concrete, our very own Exocet. Once she has been on the case for an hour or so I move and and the guy is virtually wanting to give it to me for some peace and quiet. It is sad to see a grown man close to tears. I am thinking of hiring her out as a negotiator. Anyway, back to cars, the second hand market is as overstocked as the new car market so deals are there to be had. Do all your homework, pin down the spec and price you want and go for it. It seems it is all up for grabs. People who offer to lend you money are not doing it because they are nice people, they are doing it make a profit. Nothing wrong with that, just keep it mind if you really have to borrow. good luck.
