Hi, I've been here over 23 yr's already (full time) & have bought many new cars (too many as its me cost so much but hey ho) Some cash & a few on finance. The type & make is entirely your choice of course but my advice is to go with the leading top names and DEFINITELY check out your local dealerships before you decide (facilities/workshop/staff attitude etc.) as they are not all good! This goes for bikes also. Good luck.
