What car? Please help
Discussion
Hi, i've been reading pistonheads for a while but this is my first post.
I’m 36 and I just got a new job as an assistant manager for a well known fast food restaurant. I’ve recently passed my driving test and I want to get a car that will look the part. I’m from Glasgow but the job is down in Wigan.
I will need a car that can get me from A to B but also a bit flashy and I don’t know what kind of cars people like in wigan (don’t know of this relevant)
I’ve got a budget of £3000 but I can get another credit card and push it to £5k if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
p.s. my wife is pregnant
so no 2 seaters pls.
