You probably haven't tried rhemito.com then.
Best rate I have seen anywhere just that they just recently introduced a flat fee of £2.

Even if you transfer 10k azimo will only charge 1.49

Best to start looking into a pension scheme..... Not unless you want to solely rely on state pensions..........

My first car was a cheap peugeot runaround I bought for £995 from my local dealer, it served me very well for over 4 years. I only changed it last year for a 2015 model with low mileage. Personally, I would advice that you should never use finance/loans to buy a car. Buy a good car you can afford. If you feel you are loaded and have money to throw around every month, use the money to pay off your mortgage. If you have paid off your mortgage, invest the excess money in properties for rent, trade in shares/stocks etc. I see a lot of people borrowing to buy cars when they are still living in a home they do not own.

Just out of curiosity....how much did it cost to maintain the Peugeot over the years you used it? I initially wanted to do this, but i guess my choice of a lexus was probably not a good banger.

Apart from the initial insurance, maintenance while using it, new tires, brake caliper change, A/C which i didn't fix, i think the additional maintenance over the 10 months had potential of equating buying a fairly new car in terms of the value i had to put into the car to use it....I mean if i had a new car, it was probably equal in value to what was spent on the old car!

The other reason taken lightly are safety features in new cars these days, Your blind spot monitoring and 360' camera, reversing sensors, rear cameras....I regard myself an expert driver, but i have reversed into obstacles at night, and few times on the highway coincidentally changing lanes when others were, and we were both in each other's blind spots!...Luckily i escaped these events, with the BSM, i havent had these issues....So sometimes, an old car can be a gamble and you still end up spending more as if you bought a fairly new car

Boss pls explain the police clearance process to me. I called a police man who asked my wife to go to the local police station in the UK, then thumb print and scan that to him, then he can proceed. She got to the police station and they said it's 74 pounds and she ran away. What is the normal step?

£74 made her run? Why? Was it too little a charge? Remember it's part of this payment that would be added to protection fund.............. cheesy

I actually did my thumb-printing at the police station here in London and they collected nothing. Only that i have book ahead of time. Only asked for my biometric card to be sure i am who i said i am. Then later i sent the document to Nigeria.
