Nice car advice for 21-yr-old - 22/04/2020 09:22
Time moves on and my elder stepson has moved from flicking fag-ends on to our roof to being a fully qualified heating engineer with a brand new job working for a company doing high-end renewable energy projects. He won't be earning riches, but enough to afford something tastier than his work van on a lease/PCP.
Credit-worthiness aside (elephant in the room, possibly), assuming he is allowed c£300/month, he thinks he can get (and insure) a 2017 240i BMW. This is based on figures he's seen on Autotrader, but I am worried he's going to find the reality a bit of a smack in the mouth.
Does anyone know if he's being set up by over-optimistic marketing, or do his back-of-a-rizla-packet sums add up?
Edited to add: he's 21 with 2 years NCB
