I passed my driving test over 2 months ago and I love it, but the car that my aunt is giving me (as a proposed act of kindness) has 121,000 miles on it, the clutch is going, the silencer has fallen off and it refuses to start up sometimes. So yea, it's nearing it's last days.
She is paying for my car insurance today (and I am honestly thankful for that) but she says once the car is mine she's not having any more to do with it, she's not paying a single penny towards repairs or petrol.
I don't want to have the car break down on the motorway or spend half of my final year at uni struggling with it. Now it's a nice car, it's a silver Vauxwhagon Golf but it's not going to last much longer. I have £13,000 in the bank (from my mum's death) but she guilt trips me beyond belief when I want to use that money. If I do get so fed up though that I buy a new car before my insurance expires on the golf I currently own, what will happen when I want to insure the new car?
