citroen xzara /petrol
mondeo diesel / petrol
or go for big honda's jap cars, nobody wants them, small ones are well used
i run a fiat brava jtd

I just got an E30 325 of ebay for £500 with a years MOT, and in top condition. Highly recommended

4 door and gold, so probably untouched by chav owners

2 door ones seem to be rough at that price

Another vote for Citroen ZX diesels

Mate just got an 80K miles '96 model for £400, no rust at all and interior still in good shape.

For an old-tech diesel it actually goes pretty well and gives him 45mpg all day

That would be my choice

Preferably in Jewish Racing Gold

Just like an S Class, only built properly

Legend also has it that they possess the worlds smoothest V8, bonus

Make sure its a turbo. The normally aspirated ones are so slow, they can be dangerous!
