Help with car purchase?

Thanks all......There's a few I havent considered like the suzuki......Back on to autotradder and fleabay then

People are so dishonest these days!!!!!!


Found a car that the mrs's was really interested in, 04 cityrover 1.4 with 8k on the clock for 2350.....to good to be true....YES, last recorded mileage 18000, so i called the guy back to confirm the miles and he still said 8k....

No, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!!! Just don't.

Like the others said.

Nothing French nor Italian.

Yaris if you can find one. (Fore-runner Starlet was bland but reliable but old now, don't bother).
Polo if you want.
Fiesta will give you more choice than you know what to do with but not the most reliable.
Micra pretty reliable but the jellymoulds are old fashioned compared to Yaris etc. and you'll be lucky to find a new style one at that price.

+1

I've had Starlets and a Yaris. I found the Starlet a bit quicker than the Yaris though. No problems with either.

i Do like the Toyota's, My dad swore by them all his (short) life.........


Will just keep on hunting till the right one comes along.......No rush as the sv will keep me going.

Going to become an all weather biker now

My reccomendation for Yaris was based on one I had before, T reg. Most reliable car I've ever had, 3 years and never needed anything. After my 6 years of French, I've just ordered another Yaris, getting to an age where I dont want to lift the bonnet any more.

just want to get this one out the way, then I can spend whats left on mine.......

For me .....I was thinking about a old wrangler, or a cheap trackbike, but I'll probably loose some of my manbits if I mention that to her

How old are you? I'm in the same boat, but at 22 I would have thought insurance would be reasonable by now - how wrong could I be!

Not really a problem for me, the car purchase is for the mrs's I'm 28 and gor max no claims, the mrs's is a good few years older than me but cause she never hels a license it's suprisingly cheaper putting her on my policy...... There goes my no claims!!!!!!
