Car buying!

Featured Replies

Yoooo! Just wanted people opinions/thoughts on my next car...

used to have a 6n, 1.4 8v which i loved till the gearbox went :-(

Currently i have a MK5 Golf tdi but that is soon to be my girlfriends. i have a budget of about £1500 to spend on a car and was wonder what people thought of the following and which you'd personally go for... EDIT - Only have eyes for a 3 door too, not that I'm picky.... :tongue:

If i could find one with decent milage, i'd love a 6n again. but preferably the 1.4 16v Open air...

Mk2 Golf 1.6 driver or GTi...

Mk2f/Mk3 Polo Coupe 1.3...

MK3 Golf 2.0 GTi...

BMW E30 (any 2 door saloon, preferably hard top)

Or finally a MK1 Mx5 1.6

What does everyone think? All are roughly the same to insure.

Any Good/bad points about the cars would be helpful too and any helpful comments welcome!

Cheers, Jamie.

  • I'm looking at buying a mk1 mx5 for some summer fun, you'll be able to buy one and get it spec'd up for you budget. And it'll be around on par on fuel as the polo.

Polo 1.4 tdi or lupo 1.4 16v sport would be on my list. I like the polo 16 v, you should get a top mk3 gti for that money.

went to look at one that I was assured was great. It had had the sill repaired and a full respray to a decent finish, great I thought for £850! Looked mint in the pics.

Well... The filler was visible under the sills, they hadn't flatted it, just painted over the top... Overspray was on every bit of rubber, even the front wheels. I think it was masked by Stevie Wonder. It had a completely flat front tyre... On the bottom of the windscreen the laminate had lifted from the glass. The list goes on, I was wasn't told of any of these issues, was told it was all great on the phone!

He couldn't find the keys, so I went back to him and told him not to bother looking for them.

Anyway, the hunt continues, hopefully looking at another in the morning, this time an import, I hope it's better than the last :lol:

Figured out what you want yet?

E30!!

A lot more fun buddy, go for a 318is as they have around 140bhp so enough power to have fun and still decent on fuel.

Fun for a little drifting fun too ;)
