fatima04:isn't the lexus cheaper than that |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by marylandcakes: 5:39am On Apr 17, 2019 |
fatima04: Okay, you might have to pay a little bit more but in the long run it will be worth it and when you want to dispose of the car you are sure to get a decent amount for it. You can also add Audi to the list. |

DaveChapelle: I’m talking from my own personal experience. The two main things I look out for when buying a car is reliability and residual value and the brands I’ve mentioned tick that box for me. You can add Audi to the list. |

I came in 2 months ago on a tier 2 visa. I plan to apply for my family (husband and 2 kids) after the 90 days has elapsed so the maintenance in my account is ok. Concerning accommodation what is the required accommodation for a family this size pls? My son's are aged 11yrs and 8yrs. I thought a 2 bedroom flat would be ok but someone told me that because of their age I need a three bedroom. Thanks for responding. 1 Like |

drchic: Regarding accommodation a two bed is okay sine your kids are same sex. If they were different then you would require a three bed. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 8:11am On Apr 17, 2019 |
DaveChapelle: Not if I consider mileage and previous owners and then maybe engine size. Will check them out, who knows could get a good deal. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 8:16am On Apr 17, 2019 |
marylandcakes: It's worth considering actually, d depreciation value of this Ford is so annoying got it for 5k and now it's being priced at 3k if in good condition online. This is just after few months of buying the car. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 3:14pm On Apr 17, 2019 |
Online reviews slightly favour the Peugeot 2008 over the Renault Captur but they are not really far apart....i guess people with first hand experience are in a better position to make a recommendation... |

Hi,@Lexus430 and other fam,please what's your take on buying Lexus IS 250 automatic 2012 with 58k miles for £9,700.Any reviews from those that have used Lexus will be appreciated.Thanks |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 11:31pm On Apr 18, 2019 |
veleta: + - £700 + - less mileage or so..... Seems to be the going rate...... Loads of things to consider, how are you funding it? Value at the end of term if financing? Have you considered slightly older model, at almost £3/4K savings, possibly with slightly higher miles? Etc etc If you have worked your figures out, and it works..... Unfortunately, it seems it's the going rate in 2019..... Buy with your brain and not your heart............... |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by veleta: 5:46am On Apr 19, 2019 |
@Lexus430,thanks bro for your time. Plan is,£5,700 for deposit then 4K personal loan from bank for financing @7.6% for only 2 years. Another option is go for 2008 model @50k miles for £6k outright purchase. Intention is to use the car for 5 years then sell off.Which of the 2 do you think will command higher resellable value? Thanks once again for your time. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:35am On Apr 19, 2019 |
veleta: If I was spending your money, I would look for the best 2008/09 model........ And purchase outrightly........... With £6000 cash, you can haggle like my dead grandmother....... 2012 model bought in 2019 and sold in 2024, would probably retail for £1500/£2000......... Work out your figures and decide which suit, looks more bespoke.............. |
