But if you already own a car (like wot most families do) then those are sunk
costs and irrelevant to the decision.

But I don't and the costs *would* be relevant.
Several thousand pounds of releavance I'd guess.

Only if you're an idiot. My last two cars have cost me £300 each and
lasted me over 18 months a piece.

My brother does that. Buys ****e old cars and when people say "What
about the reliability" he replies if it breaks, I'll buy another one.

And strangely, most of them last a good few years before succumbing.

Very high mileage for age seems to be the answer.
