MrAnderson Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 ...except Aberdeen bus services are a joke and still cost a fortune, fuck that. If you want to save money, take a bike and get fit too. Congrats anyway Jordan, good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preid Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yes the bus service does suck and its expensive. But is it more expensive than buying, insuring and taxing a car? Add on top running costs and after all that it may even breakdown.Im happy freezing my ass off at the bus stop. Nothing like listening to my Ipod while trying to avoid eye contact with strangers.Its how I roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboy Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 jesus how old are you by the way?ideally go with something small, clio, corsa, saxo, suzuki swift, micra, but for insurance i dont know which will be cheaperavoid franchise garages at all cost, eg arnold clark, evans hallshaw at all costssome local buisness offer good deals on second hand cars such as murison cars rose hill, new machar motors, i & k, sandy thainsthey could sell you a car with a deposit and pay the rest monthly, usually the will have a good warranty with it, just make sure u ask the right questionsor you could buy a damaged repairable carthese cars are written off by insurance and then auctioned off for pretty cheap for repairs, lots of people make a living buying and fixing cars like thissome cars need just a wing maybe a bonnet for example, you can get the parts well cheap alsohave a look hereOVERTON GARAGE LTD UK's Premier Online Salvage Auction Site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Graham Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Add female relatives to the policy as named drivers. I've put my mum and my grunny on mine and saved a few hunner pounds. Apparently it's verging on fraud, but it's ok fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
