Right basically ive been back in my town driving taxi as a driver for some time now,
Work is steady going can be quiet some times and some times busy but still good.
I decided a wile back that i am going to purchase my own cab soon and now theres one just come on the market it comes with a plate, the vehicle is quite old got just over a year left on the plate and then have to purchase a new cab under 4years and thatll cost around 15k to replace.
The cab on the market is at a reasonable price and i think im getting a bargain,
So should i go for it or not?

I Was Thinking The Same On Buying A Cab In Oxford As Milton Keynes is Nothing Working Around 70 hrs Week For Nothing More Than £400 After Fuel.
But 130k For A Cab Too Expensive For Me to Buy Even Thou The Work Is Good There, Can Drive Few Hours MySelf, And Rent It Out The Rest Of Times And Still Make Good Money But I Cant Afford To Buy FOR That Much.
