Must be the time of year

I have bought my first car toady in 18 years due to the immanent seizure of my company car by the money grabbing b'stards in HR that do not recognise people had t&C in place that pre date their standardisation exercise and if somebody is "overpaid "for their grade, maybe you have put them in the wrong grade.

So I now own a Renault Clio, yes dont laugh. I only need to travel the 6 miles to work so I will not be spending a fortune.

Boy insurance was harsh. 275. and then to add the daughter to my policy added a further 120 and I am the one with the points make prizes from the local man with a
van.

so now they can seize my company car with its nice dint in the n/s wing

You did well to get that for £700

We just part ex'd ours and got £1500 for it 53 plate similar sort of miles, sounds like you got a bargain to me.
