Dude I quite like you, and I think your humour sometimes goes under the radar so please don't take offence by what I say. I'm trying to help.

You've said in the past that money is a difficult part of life, as for most of us it is! Why not spend your money on a cheap run around that won't let you down so any money you have left over you can enjoy your life?

I'd hate to see you spend every penny you have on a big car, only for it to break down and you not be able to afford to repair it.

Live within your means, any car regardless of age has maintenance costs that are based on the original value/price.

I think you should buy what you want and we shouldn't be preaching.
Yolo.

Money will always be an issue but I'm not in that same part of my life I was once in. Moving forward in life

I'm glad mate, but seriously get something that does the job and get some real savings behind you to give you a bit of a safety blanket.

A fella was looking to sell a BMW X5 for £6,000 on Facebook recently - he claimed to be emigrating.
Personally I prefer the look of the Range Rover, but wouldn't get the Vogue due to size limitations in most parking garages and shopping centres. A Range Rover sport would be a better buy, but alas as some have pointed out, it's seen to be a bit of a wide boys car (drugs etc).
