Thanks Wynter, I had a sour feeling when i was basically told to shut up because I paid for the cheapest car in the entire market... The true fact is, with the 20k i spent, i have lots more choice in the used cars market and some of them are reputable brands with good records.

For the same price, If I have the choice to get a used car that can last 10 more years, or a new Micra that will break down after 5 years. i think the choice is easy to make.
