Looks like you can get a reasonable one for about 8 grand.

Yeah, or I could get a ratty one for 3 and change everything but the body shell.

That'd eat a little too far into my mortgage fund.

how have you got that fund invested?
If it's sitting in cash then you should really move it into a balanced portfolio of roughly 20% property, 20% fixed interest, 20% overseas equity and 40% UK equities.

In an ISA and the rest in the same proportions in an OEIC.

It's sitting in cash, spread out over various bank accounts
that offer between .75 and 3%

My ISA doesn't seem to want to take my money. That's at 1.5, though. Doesn't seem that great.

cash ISAs are pointless.
You can put 11520 in a stocks and shares ISA, and the another 11880 in April. Assuming you follow that investment split, you should make about 10% over a year. Could drop in value though, but unlikely in a rising market such as we have now.

You're currently losing money as you're not getting above 3% net.
