Personally would stay clear of Fiats... I've been told they can be expensive to fix if anything goes wrong.

Aren't all cars ?

I'm not their biggest fan but Fiats have certainly come on leaps & bounds over the last few years particulalrly with the Panda & 500. If it is a small cheap car that's affordable to run, then you could do worse. Both these cars got positive reviews from both Top Gear & Fifth Gear.

I would definately shop around the dealers (where abouts are you?)

There are quite a lot of very good deals on new cars at the moment, many under 7k. I heard that Ballyrobert vauxhall have good deals on pre reg 08 models (del mileage only) (gawd I sound like an advert:rotfl: )

many have cars ready to be driven away that day. Hope you get sorted, we had to do without a car for 3 months before and it was hard going.

hi im in banbridge thanks for information will have a look

I got a 2 year old Vauxhall Agila for £3k with 10k miles on it, the new ones have been sexied up a bit and I think are less that 7k brand new (or £143 p m for a 2008 reg one) they also do 55mpg on petrol which is pretty damn good..........depends if its big enough for your needs, its certainly a lot bigger inside than it looks

thanks for info were did you get yours

It was www.broadspeed.com.

It was smoke and mirrors though - there was no way anyone was paying the £15K for the car in the first place.

BTW, to the O/P, theres no way ford were selling 2 new cars for £7000 so whoever told you has led you up a blind alley.

If you use the advance search feature on autotrader there are currently 137 cars available that are less than one year old, and less than £8000 and in northern ireland.

(they actually start from £3995!!)
