What is the Weakest Excuse you have used for buying a car?

[vulgalour]

Autoshite made me do it.

[Eddie Honda]

"I can tax seven of my cars for the price of tax on one of yours..."

 

"Darling, I'm not borrowing this (from mate's elderly mother's house where I collected it from), I've actually bought it (a month ago). Sorry I forgot to mention it. You see we need a car for the honeymoon and this is cheaper than renting one. I haven't got the V5 yet, so we'll have to make a detour to Banbury (completely off route) so I can get a tax disc..."

 

"John made me do it."

[LabRat]

Bought a hilux surf 2.4td auto with the 3 speed slushbox and "sport ect" button, because it would be at least 10 times more reliable and economical than the Saab 9000 it replaced...

 

Not only a weak excuse, but horribly, terribly wrong too!

Because I wanted to- what else do excuses come down to?

It will be handy for taking things to the tip, Never mind the fact that it's a big kiddy carrier and it's just the two of us...

was that the barge of epic hassle?

[Ben_O]

was that the barge of epic hassle?

It was indeed.

 

No more hassle now though. Not had a single problem with it apart from a slow puncture that i really must sort

MOT failed on track rod ends on MR2, so I bought a Mercedes E220 estate.

I called to arrange a viewing on a herald that I really didn't need, so a few days later I called the chap and said cant come and look as id only be wasting your time, no hard feelings, he called me back a few days later and said as no one else had even called about it I could have it for not much money, So I went and had a look and picked  it up a week later. I had it because he called me to sell it to me.

"I've always wanted one"

[Junkman]

Elvis had one of these.

It'll solve all the problems I have with my other cars as this one will be reliable

That's the excuse I make to myself every single time. The annoying thing is that I can spot a lemon a mile off, but I can't stop myself buying it anyway.

'I'm not that busy this evening...'

 

I wasn't that busy one evening a few months ago, I think it was a Thursday. Naturally, I went and bought an LS400.

[grc636]

iv got it for nothing(lie) so couldnt say no

[fatharris]

It's a toss up between "I'm too embarrassed to say no" and "The seller is a genuine fucking pikey and I fear for my safety if I don't buy this" or "550 miles a weekend? I'd better make sure I'm comfortable then. What big engined auto barges are for sale?"

Nothing close to the epic comments above - But looking for a Ventora - saw a Camaro ''For sale'' at car show - I was rather entranced into ''Barney Rubble'' Mode

And just said ''how much?''

''Grand mate'' - which sent my ''Barmey Rubble'' mood into whoooop

 

''Ok '' - Guy just looked at me like some weed smoking nut job - as I gave him a 100 quid deposit and walked off - Only regaining some sense when my good buddy said - ''For fucks sake you dumb twat - get his fucking address so you know where it is''

 

I had to walk back and ask him - and folks mocked me fully an deservedly

"It's work, really, I'll write about it."

Can you write it off against tax if you write about it?
