Default Cheap car

Ok, took a company car which I have had for about 1 1/2 years.

I may not be keeping it much longer and am a little concerned that my ncd built up prior to the ccar will be gone leaving me back to square one when I get a new car.

My current thoughts are to buy a cheap car (think my ncb are still useable upto 2 years?) - less than 2k to use as a workhorse for trips to skip etc. We have another car in the family so my criteria for the sh1tter are:

1) less than 2k
2) reliable
3) not bothered on mpg - won't get used much <3k/annum
4) large load space
5) Ideally 4wd


So far have come up with:
Jeep Cherokee - but not much idea on what these are like
Suzuki Jimny - not a massive load space though

Where else could I put my 2 grand

I will basically bin the car when I get move from the company car

Cheers

Something like this?
Features:86,000 milesManualBLUEPetrolSaloon2457 CC Full Description:Glossary of Terms
4 Doors, Manual, Saloon, Petrol, 86,000 miles, Metallic Blue. Insurance Group:15, Electric front and rear windows, Driver and passenger air bags, Alloy wheels with all tyres in good condition. Power assisted steering and rake adjustment. Electric door mirrors, Sports style velour trim, uprated stereo cd player. This rare 4 cam car is an excellent example with a full and complete service history at the subaru main dealer., £865.00 spent in december on a full service ! Literally thousands have been spent on this car looking after it properley with no expense spared. It belonged to a personal friend of mine and has been part exchanged against another Subaru. These are very rare with a manual box and make a good motorway cruiser but have the same handling characteristics of an Impreza on the back roads. If you are rurally located or have a hobby that takes you out into the sticks this is a good safe car to be in. this really is alot of car for the money, For further information on this car or any others on our website Clews Cars, new and used car sales in Meriden, near Coventry, Warwickshire - Welcome please contact Richard., £1,375

Thanks Tony

Good shout - showing as £865 on the website which I assume is a misprice and actually relates to the amount on the service. Car tax gven the age would be pretty low I assume?

How did you come across this Tony....autotrader?

Yes autotrader for this one and just had a major service so seems pretty good vfm to me and you will probably pull your money back on it too
195 quid for the tax i think

Thanks hutton_d - never thought of that. Guess I should check that out. Am quite fancying the idea of a cheap 4x4 for a bit of weekend fun though!
