    Talking Bought a car!

    First car, as most of you have seen the other thread about having 3k etc...it is:

    A brand new Red Ford KA

    I am seriously buzzing over it, cost £5.5k which i have to make up the missing 2.5k once i have finished UNI with the folks but it was just so schweeeet! Hopefully get it next week if they have one in stock, otherwise it will be 2 weeks cos they are bringing it over from Spain.

    The only reason why i got the car at that price was because Sandicliffe Ford are running an offer on KA's till Friday

    PLUS:
    Does anyone know of a link to somewhere where i can buy a good quality 'Ford' logoed car keyring from? I know it sounds a bit sad, but i gotta get with the vibe!

    Cheers for recommendations all!

    Fantastic mate. You know you made the right choice dont they give you a ford key ring with it or are you just looking for something a bit more upmarket like the key ring in the mondeo ad where that guys tells his daughter to drive the mondeo as its safer

    I know peeps will say in case of accident, but tbh if you are a student, then its all a case of keeping teh foot off the gass to save as much money as possible. You never go fast enough to require abs.

    As for size, I'm sure he'll still manage to cram 5 in it when necessary.

    Is this the 1.3 engine with a list price of about £6500? If so, good bargin imho.

    My dad works at a Hyundai dealership. It's actually a really nice car to drive and the insides, etc

    But yeah the Ford Kas are good but I'm not a fan of the looks either

    If you want a keyring, go ask the Ford bloke - after all you just spent £5.5k with him, least he can do is give you a keyring.

    nice first car m8y, now just one thing to remember, DON'T crash it....

    Just remember the warm feeling inside, and you are more likely to crash in these few years than any other. Remember it takes a few weeks to get used to things and more like 6 months to be completely settled with the car....

    Good Choice and safe driving
