I don't want to spend 7-8k! Idon't have that much - a couple of K at most - have a Focus at the mo - can probably get £1500 for it.


It's a flip between the S2000 and the Smart Roadster for the mo!

i think you can rule those 2 out aswell then, you wont get an s2000 for under £6k and the smart might be around the same,certainly nowhere near a couple of grand.

I've seen smart roadsters for £4k round here.

But you only want to spend 2k?

I thought the budget was 10k? Where did I read that? 2k will get you a nice Kia Picanto.

-ish! Depends what I decide on and if it's likely to lose much in 12 months, we'll see!

Would prefer to lease to be honest, but no decisions made yet!

S2000, best car I have ever owned!! Smart car, now that just wouldnt be smart. Just to throw a spanner in the works, what about a cheap daily commuter, and a kit car, there is some seriously fast and fun ones out there, and if you shop carefully, you should not loose very much at all on it.

Thanks dave, that's why I was thinking about a sprite - a good resoration classic should maintain (or go up!) in value!

NO SUPRA'S! Sorry - but no. Considered the Cupra years ago, but again, no.
Would love to lease, but can't find anywhere that does the kinda thing I want for under 12 months.
Whatever I had I wouldn't be driving like a p&*^k - too old for that now and I only do 3k miles a year.
Did consider Alfa but Italian cars are too expensive to fix/maintain!

Thanks for all your comments though!

no italian?!

what about a a barchetta? okay not exactly a power house but i've always liked the style

oooo i love the barchettas!!!!! so cute! but have to admit if it was me, i'd go for the mx5 over a smart roadster any day!
