Lease or Finance or buy a car. it's a question we have all asked ourselves. How about owning a car and paying for all its running costs for just 5% of the what a finance agreement would cost you? We buy a used Volkswagen Golf, tax it, MOT it, and run it to see if we can pay for all of this and still only be at 5% of what it would cost if we had financed a new VW Golf in mid-level specification.



Our car ownership challenge doesn't start easy with a cheap ebay purchase and a yearly inspection at the MOT centre due, but we persevere to see if we really can stick to our budget.
