Buying a second-hand car at the moment can feel like an impossible task with inflated prices and a market that is moving quicker than Usain Bolt.
We made the decision to buy a new car for a number of reasons but most importantly because we are starting a family. Our beloved Vauxhall Corsa has seen us through many a road trip and has been a trusted steed for years, but there was the feeling that it may struggle to accommodate both my fiancée Cathy and I as well as a newborn, border collie and pram.
So we have scraped together some funds, cutting back on our future wedding plans and trying to not go mad on baby stuff in the middle aisle of Aldi. Altogether we have a budget of between £4,000-£6,000.
