Recommend me a new car please
Ok so the OH and I have split and despite the fact that he gave me my car as a gift, he is now insisting I buy it off him as its his name on the deeds (even though I paid for everything since he gave it to me and even has my own private plates with my name on!!!)
Anyhoo, I've decided to sod him and not buy it and buy my own car instead. This way he'll be lumbered with the tax, MOT and insurance on a second car he doesn't need
So I used to drive a Honda CRV automatic which I LOVED.
I love the seating position of 4x4s as I'm a short arse, so I would like something similar but possibly on a smaller scale as the Honda is too expensive to run.
I need something thats not going to cost me an arm and leg in petrol, tax and insurance.
Any ideas please?

At the very least he should reimburse you for any services, MOTs etc. Don't give in so easily on this one!!!!! I think the time has come to play a bit dirty, wench.
He can't sell the house without your agreement and his folks want their 90k back. If he wants to play silly buggers two can play that game!
Down side - it's quite a bit boring.
no, that just means that the person is the current registered "keeper". that document does not suggest "ownership".
they stopped making them quite some time ago :rolleyes:
Yes deeds to house are in my name but we have a deed of trust in place which entitles him to half a share in the house, but there is nothing in place regards to the car.
Thing is we are not married, so I dont think I am entitled to half the car.
Yes he got it for me as a gift, he has his own car, I then got personal plates after then last ones were nicked, but the log book is in his name.
He said he would give me the car in exchange for some of the shared furniture but everything runs out in March and I dont want to fork out to reinsure, mot and tax without knowing if I'll definately get the car afterwards. He may turn round and say no, and then I've wasted loads of money for nothing. this is why i think its best I just buy a new one.
And to be honest I dont think I can afford to keep running it anyway, I used to be a named driver on his insurance but now I have to get my own I've discovered its going to cost me an arm and a leg.
as i said, the name in the log book only refers to the "registered keeper" and not the legal owner.
Its not
He is still registered keeper then. He said he will only sign it over to me when the house is sold, but I cant trust he will keeps his word.
I got rid of mine last year - worst thing I ever bloody did but had to get rid as was getting a dog. A big dog.
The vRS is pretty nippy - very nippy in fact. It was doing about 50-55mpg, tax was cheap too for a 1.9 engine..
for clarification for anyone else wondering this.
my car, for example, my name is on the V5 logbook as the registered keeper.
however i am not yet the legal owner as the car was bought on finance, so i will not be the legal owner until the final payment is made. until then the legal owner is the finance company.
in your instance, if the car was paid via a shared bank account then some claim could be made with regards to part ownership. if the car was paid via his own personal bank account and his name is on the log book then it would be very difficult prove any rightful entitlement to ownership of the car (receiving as a gift is hard to prove and it in hind sight would have been ideal at the time to have your name on the log book).
I've pM'd you.
I think it was the latter, he paid for it initially, and I just paid for the upkeep aftewards.
This is why I think its just best to get my own car.
Aren't they quite new?
I really need a very cheap second hand car.
Thanks, I'll have a look
I dont need anything as large as an MPV, just a wee little thing but one with a high seating position.
Its like a mini 4x4 which I like the sound of, and they seem quite cheap for a second hand one.
I would recommend a Suzuki SX4 :cool:
not as eco as some would like you to believe though.
the process of making the batteries is very messy indeed and not all environmentally friendly.
You my ex?? :eek:
you sound as charming as him anyway :rolleyes:
Problem is the inital outlay, I cant afford a new car, only a really cheap second hand one.
