Week argument
Having been made redundant last month, my company car has to go back when I start another job. I have very fortunately found an office job with no car for the 13 week initial trial. My question to you is.
Short term rent-a-car for 3 months, or buy an older car for 3 months?
It would mean a round trip of 32 miles a day, mostly motorway or dual carriageway. No preference for petrol or diesel. Only myself in the car. If you advise buying, I have got £5k max to spend, but would rather not spend this sort of money.

You can still find the odd bargain at auction. On Wednesday I saw a respectable 94M Citroen AX 1.0 Cascade sell for £225.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
