I might need to buy a reliable runabout for a 600miles per week commute shortly.

Probably a small diesel. Definitely not french. Would like auto, air-con, but am realistic.

Not too fussed about mileage, but must have decent service history.

Anyone ideas what I should and should not be looking at?

Cheers,

How about my Mitsubishi Colt Cyborg? Small hatchback car, 3 dr, black, 51k miles, 40 mpg and ohh yes....forgot to say 172bhp. really fast for a little car and economical, surprises all the little Nova / XR2 boys when you leave em for dust! Has aircon, alloys, tinted windows, drilled pedals, spoilers, manual 5 speed, front fogs, recaro seats. Looking for ~£5.5k for it but come and look if interested.

Tim,

I'm really looking for a bit of a banger and don't want to pay more than a couple of K.

I have a Rover 216 GSi, and have to say it has been great for the money. H-Reg, cost £1300 with 90k miles, now done 122k miles, not much gone wrong (except heater just blown). Honda engine superb, never uses oil, and converts to 45mpg on the mways.

Maybe a 218 diesel version will do? You can get an L reg for about £1800 now.

I know its French but the Citroen Xantia is fully loaded and the depreciation king of the world!

You could pick up a fairly recent example for a few k
