Plenty of people out there use cars for the purpose that are designed and not as some sort of status symbol. These kind of cars have their place for people who need them.

You paint a lovely picture of how easy it easy to buy a 2k car 2nd hand and have the time of your life.
In reality any VW TDI you are picking up at that price will have done some serious mileage and be due for some expensive service schedules even assuming that nothing goes wrong which is certainly not a given. Tax will be a lot more, as will fueling costs, insurance and pretty much every motoring costs.

True, like me, we have a few cars in our household ranging from people carrier to sports car, in 3 years I've covered 25k in the smart, all around town, parking here there and everywhere and to be honest I seem to take the smart out more and more over the other cars,
Ok it struggles with wind on the motorway, but gets up to 80 no problems, gets good mpg, zero road tax, and insurance is very cheap, plus although not the fasted car in the world it feels like a go cart and does make me smile with what it can do, brakes are ferocious you feel really confident in it.
I'm getting another to replace this, thumbs up from me.

normally these deals don't have enough miles but I wouldn't want to do 7000 per year this.

Hassle free motoring for £89 a month for 3 years, can't argue with that
