OP, can we please have a budget to work with? Would save all this "guessing" what car might be ok for you.
Other info like what you use the car for, how much you use it, mainly motorways / round town etc would be helpful.0 -
Probably the best advice to give here is, what ever car you get, make sure you take it to be service as per the cars service schedule. Not servicing it is always a false economy and you need to do it to keep a new/young cars warranty valid.0

Ford fiesta sounds ok, depending on the age, don't buy a 1.3, go for 1.25 or 1.4. I had a 1.25 and it was a lovely little car tons better than a corsa in my opinion.

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but i am looking for a car.
I live in Essex & I found a website called "buyacar 4less" based in Essex who advertise that they can get a good deal for a new/used car.
Has anybody heard of them, used them & if so would they recommend them?0
