Best way to get a car
Discussion
It may be worth getting some insurance quotes for a fairly generic car, to give a rough picture of how much of your budget will be taken up by those costs.
Also, if you are not aware, the annual taxation of cars in the UK varies greatly with what you buy, as it is based on the exhaust emissions. It can be anything from zero to £500+ per year. You can easily check the cost online though, searching using the registration plate of a car you're interested in.
I agree with the comment above about your credit history influencing whether you would be able to get a lease or similar.
Is this £400 being spent privately from your own income, or is it a budget given to you by your employer to have a car provided for you? That may make a difference.
