A house is one of the most important and long lasting investments one can make. You can always get another new MINI later on.

Congrats on your purchase and good luck.

Or you could get another fiance, one who isn't likely to kill you.

Eat your cake and bake another!

You could do both. Buy a cheaper house that needs some/lot of work doing to it in a dearer location. That way you wont lose money on selling the car, and eventually your house should increase in value and make you money that you could never legally earn in a lifetime.

But dont' blame me if it all goes pear-shaped!

...or you could buy a pear-shaped house to begin with. You know, one of those silver and yellow tabbert bungalows.

I have just bought a house. First off the bank told me I had to sell the Mini, but what a difference a month makes I think they forgot about the Mini, And gave me the loan. Sure it will be a bit tight for the next couple of years, but at least I get to keep my Mini

best of luck but you may struggle a bit on that price as it doesn't have the chilli pack.
