1.0 Seat Arosa... an early one should be about £1000 these days. Pals got one and she loves it to bits. Cheep to run, comes with power steering, fuel injection and split folding rear seats, oh and its basically a VW with a seat badge0

£1000 will buy you a mint P plate 214i or a slighly high mileage S plate model.
We're selling a V-reg one at the moment (211), but at a price possibly out of the OP's budget.
Not sure if I'm allowed to say that here really!0 -

what do you guys think of a vauxhall tigra? a bit over my budget but they look sporty and are basically a corsa underneith so very cheap to repair. i always thought micra part were expensive coz they are from japan - same with renaults.#113 12K in 2020 Challenge #113 £17,103/£12,000 £150000

ok my other tigra thread has led me to think that a tigra is a bad choice so maybe a micra is what i need! i just liked the thought of a more sporty looking car! i know my main goal is to get out of debt and my car is now up on ebay and should get £5K so what should i get? should i get a micra or a corsa, or a tigra, or an old fiesta? id love a KA but they are still quite expensive likewise the puma
just thought i would bump up me thread!
surely there must be some mechanic guys out there who can reccomend a solid but cheap car! max price £1.5K but the cheaper the better!#113 12K in 2020 Challenge #113 £17,103/£12,000 £150000 -
Go for a micra without a doubt. The metros rust a lot! The micra is solid too-my dd road tested one into a ditch and both came out unhurt.(both daughters-the car was rather wrecked)Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults0
