It was Paul I was talking about stew
I was pretty much in the same boat. Before I bought the zed and Suzuki I got all the finance sorted out. Couldn't afford to run it though. Nearly bought a Ferrari 360 modena also and was the same for that. So ended up with a 12k Suzuki and a 20k zed in retrospect I think the bills would have been about the same now.
Yikes, that's what bothers me... at £30k I could afford the finance payments and budget in about £100/month for running costs but any more than that I just couldn't justify/afford
...unless I live in the car.....
