Cheap First Car / Runaround

Featured Replies

Looking for something cheap to run and insure please. Definitely nothing bigger than a 1.6 as insurance will be ridiculous, but preferably smaller. Ideally 2000 plate or newer and less than 100k on the clock.


Needs to have some tax and test, obviously the more the better. I've got a maximum of £1k to spend.


What's out there?? the nearer to Hull the better.


Thanks :)

Hi Starry. Sounds very interesting. Do you have any pics please? Could you send them to me al7344 AT yahoo DOT com. Also where are you located.

Al.

I've got a 1.0, taxed six months, mot till June, 85k, just been serviced. Lowered 60mm, 5dr, some bodywork blemishes and aI few rust spots about the size of 50ps.

Reasonably good nick for the year, silver, interior is immaculate. Sub and amp in boot, CD player etc. No faults.

I'm in Glasgow though. Looking for 500 quid.

Oops, just seen its a late 99 6n..

Also there were no advisories in the last test other than a tyre, which has been replaced.

Thanks. al.

Starry. Thanks for the photos. Looks real nice, but with the lowered suspension it would make the insurance unaffordable. Think I need something completely stock for now!

Good luck with the sale tho.

Hi, really late reply, its lowered on springs and is now on P-Slots. I dont have the original springs I'm afraid, so if its a problem it may not be for you :D
