Thank you. I have since had my car back, repaired. Enjoyed the weekend going out to stay at a remote AirBnB with it. Just in from washing it now, bank holiday here in the UK.
Still, when I think of the few-hundred a month I'm paying for it, I think I could advance my life a little further if that few hundred went towards a house or property. As it stands, it'll be tight to manage both per month whilst having money to live (well).
