It's worth expanding your budget a little. I got the wife a Clio last year, 2001 Y Reg with 55,000 miles and full service history for £1,400.

Cheers. That is where I have found the best one so far, guess I will just have to keep persevering until one comes up.

IMO you generally find the better looked after cars on auto trader. Those people who've ragged the car to death and never serviced it generally can't be bothered to pay the listing fee.

Yeah, also I think private sellers know less about cars so you are more likely to get the price knocked down, whereas with a trader it's harder to get them to budge. |

A couple of friends have just bought their 17year olds cars from the Westbury ( Wilts ) Auctions,Not sure if they have a web site. They both said they got good deals so maybe worth a look. I know one bought a decent Corsa for just under £1,200 It had a scratch down the side but he had that repaired for £70. Just checked they do have at least one Corsa: www.westburycarauctions.com |

That sounds alright Pumbaa, trouble is it would probably cost well over 2k for insurance for a 17year old. Although there is other ways of insurance for youngsters. |
