I've got £2500 to spend...

[DMR]

... on a new car, or at least I will have sooner rather than later

Don't want something that's going to rape me on my insurance and preferably a hatch

Suggestions please as I know as much about cars as Fatbury does about shagging

[DV]

what wrong with your current one?

[DMR]

brakes have gone, steerings going, engine rattles like a fucking angry snake, handbrake doesn't work and it's generally showing it's age

[Samdy Gray]

You can have my 1998(R) Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 8v for £1600.

Goes like shit off a shovel for a little car.

[sonic youth]

You can have my Clio for a tenner.

VW Golf. they're good.



i personally would go for a phase 2 honda CRX 16v, pre-93 model... go like shit off a shovel, look the dogs, bulletproof reliability and they're jap, so they're cool.

but as you're a big jess who parks cars upside-down in fields, go for a golf  

[McLovin]

Buy my car off me.

[mattboyslim]

For £2500 on a small hatch realistically you're looking at a 98-99, I would think, depends what you mean by raped on insurance, and how old you are, keeping it at 1.4 or below will keep it cheap, and for realiability something German or Japanese makes sense.  If you want fast and fun buy a recent classic - MKI or II golf - my mate at 21 had an MGB worth £1800, 1.8 pretty good knick and fast and insurance would be less than £500 for off road parking using a firm like Lancaster.

[Leggett]

Buy my car off me.

aimed at me?


no ta, my cars fucking mint.

[McLovin]

No, not aimed at you. I'm envious of your car....

[Leggett]

goodo



buy Blackcurrants car off him, its good, cheap, and insurance will be fuck all. just odnt park it on its roof in a field.

[McLovin]

I'm tempted to buy a new Fiesta ST... they're nice.

[Sippo]

Buy my car off me.

A yellow MG? Or did I dream that?!

[Leggett]

funnily enough alex, i been thinking bout one of those when i shop the focus in. (the focus is awesome, i love it, but i couldnt afford it if i were to move out   )
