I'm in a bit of a dilemma!! I've been driving private hire for about 3 months now in Tameside on a 50/50 deal and i'm enjoying the job. I'm in the process of organising my own car to track to make it better for myself. I own a P reg Carina E and i'm planning on getting this plated up and using it. The car is solid and reliable, but one of my fellow drivers has suggested that i'd be much better off with a newer vehicle for reliability etc etc There are pro's and cons for both in my view, but what's the general consensus on here? Thanks Robbie
