Looking for my g/f's first car to learn in!
Anybody got anything suitable? Needs to be cheap to insure, something up to a 1.4L Must have rent and test... £700 to spend, and looking "pretty" lol she HATES red and white :lol1:
|
Get a cheap corsa off ebay then later on you can buy it off her and stick a redtop in it, thats what am planning for my sister
|
Nissan Micra, a great little car and pretty reliable :)
Tony:) |
Polo always a good bet
|

Little Ford Ka or something. There's a nifty '97 one near me going for £595 I think.

Lol too far..shame as I think she would like a ka. All small run-arounds in london seem to be either a heap of sh*t or too much doh for what they are. Probably going to end up driving for hours... I give on too easy! :cuckoo:
Both look good cars. |

There's a guy on the Welsh section (turbodean) who was recently selling a pug 106 diesel for £495. I don't know if he still has it. Its certainly worth a look.
I got one myself as my run around and they are great little motors. |
Micra a good choice but japanese cars tend to cost more to insure.
My money would go on something from Ford or GM with a small basic petrol engine ie Fiesta or Corsa. The diesel option isn't worthwhile unless doing a lot of miles IMO. |
