I agree David it's not the route I would choose. But from the limited facts I've seen he's tried the cheap car route (the Punto). But if a reliable car is the only way of keeping his job then it's not a case of "got to have it at all costs" attitude.
His credit is screwed (Dad made several applications in his name - lots of house moves) so it would make snse to me that Carcraft would be the only place he can get credit, if I'm wrong
it's not a position I've been in.
