Hi got about £1500 to spend on a car (not subaru) I am swaying to the MG ZS 180 What other options do i have at this price
Thanks Neil

 

I don't have personal experience of the MG mate, but it came up the other day when talking to a mate and he mentioned someone he knew with one and said it was sore on petrol. Couple of threads after searching. Depends what you call bad, and i'm sure they sound nice with the V6.

Not sure on what other options you have. There's a few of the original clio 172s or 106 gti's, that's probably what i'd be looking at, and hope they'd last!

 

What's it mostly going to be used for - daily-driver, weekend toy, commuter?

 

Daily driver

 

If you can live with just 2 seats and no hatch, early 90s MR2 (mk2 body shape). Plenty of gooduns about at that money

 

Need 4 seats and a bit of space for fishing gear.

 

With a bit more shopping around then, and maybe settling for an auto, a similar vintage Supra 3.0.

 

90's Beemer 5 series estate, could be worth a look.Or 3 series estate.

Here is a 3 series Touring you maybe interested in (not my car).

Or perhaps a Mercedes estate is a better option.

 

Here is a 540 Touring, that's bang on budget.122k mls, serviced upto 100,000 & owned by a BMW specialist.Calypso red colour.
