Buying (shhh!) a used car

[BBROWN1664]

So, in your position, I'd work out the annual costs of car ownership including depreciation/write off and compare it to the cost of car rental for those weekends when you'll be hanging ten.

Unless you rent a van though you may struggle to get a board in the car unless you rent something bigger. With your own car, if its a bit small, you can get a roof rack.
