Initial impressions are very good. It is a 1.8 petrol with manual box.

I imagine with some fresh trims / used merc wheels and a valet that should be quite a respectable for of transport. I take it she was very cheap?

It's a looker alright

Depends what you would call cheap

Gutmann pug

Looks like £300 or less to me

tonybooth

Very much so LOL

In which case I hope it serves you well..........Bangers are the way forward. My £350 beauty is coming up to a year old (In my hands) and its cost me £9.99 for rear pads and a can of WD40

You are so right. I have lost about £30K in depreciation on cars in the last 5 years and it makes me sick. Current 'main' car is on a lease which expires in May 2007. After that it will be economy motoring all the way - Much to my snobby wife's annoyance!!!

Mine cost me virtually the same to buy and run for a year as the subaru cost me in payments every month.....go figure.

Plus my current stead has an electric sun roof

Too right, after a house purchase and a car crash (insurance took a while) a few years back I bought a Rover 214 H reg. Cost me £200.

Lasted 2 years with no expense, the wife then drove it for another year and she loved it.

Drivers leccy window stopped working so we binned it!

I loved the fact that it didnt matter if I locked it or not, just the fact that I could leave it anywhere and the only risk would be that I came back to find a "Police Aware" sticker on it!

Interesting... choice never actually considered one of those..

Best cheap runner for me was a £300 MK3 Golf 1.8L.... bomb proof.... never went wrong and spent more on Optimax & Octane in a month than it cost to buy... I love cheap motoring
