Where do you shop for car parts? Do you go to your local garage? Hit some big brand store? Look online for the parts you need at sites such as www.BuyCarParts.co.uk?
I’m just wondering because – although very much still in contemplation mode – I sometimes think it might be a good idea for me to bite the bullet and get one. I know my girlfriend is aiming to buy a car. It would be largely for her work, but I’m certain I would see some fun and convenience come of it.
I’ve been in London for over a decade now and haven’t had or really needed a car that whole time. I’ve often wished I had one just to get around on the weekends though for shopping trips, mini-breaks out of town. It’s a bit of a weird one for me to be without my own vehicle. Since I was 16 until I moved to London, I’d always driven and owned a car.
Odds are if/when my partner … or I .. or the two of us together actually buy a car, it will be used. I’m fine with that but would like to have a better idea of cost of upkeep here in London.
Who’s got advice on buying, owning and maintaining a car in London? Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
