if i could get the cash together i’d get a 1.1 peagout 106 second hand. good cars are them.

i cant save for shit though. i earn roughly £90 a week n it all goes on music/booze/drugs. mostly music. coverin everythin from cd’s to the new mac i just got, and now i’m lookin for a mixin desk.

i mite be gettin extra shifts soon, mite help.

Don’t laugh but look at the Skoda Felicia.. its made by VW so has all the shit that the polo has but for a fraction of the price.. Seat and Skoda are both owned by VW but are cheaper.. although the boy racers have copped onto the seat ibiza being like a golf only cheaper now..

Skoda’s aren’t the shit they used to be years ago mainly due to being owned by VW a few yrs ago the felicia had all the new stuff in it that the followin years polo was going to have.. they tested it on that so u got all the perks earlier and cheaper..

skodas are well reliable.

i recently bought a new (3 year old) Ka, simply coz i needed summat reliable, economical to run, cheapness of parts, work, inurance, tax etc.

i looked at all sorts – skoda, VWs, Kas, but in the end this one turned up only 13,000 miles, only one owner, a real steal so . . .

I mourned my old mazda (it had soul) an really didn’t ‘like’ this new one, just not me, but . . . I have to say i’ve been won over, she’s like an old mini, so throw-aroundable, surprisinlgy fast, sticks to the road, runs on air it seems an i’m actually (against expectations) very happy with her, shes ace fun

have a few different ones in mind and judge em on their individual condition as well as their reputation

wish i could! nicest hatchbacks ever, insurance company pretty much told me to fuck off and come back when im 21!

btw starlaugh, if your interested, im gonna be selling my black fiat punto in a week or two for a very good price, this cars never ever let me down and is very cheap to insure n run,

😥 😥 😥

Had a beautiful 205gti for 11 months, got insured for £400 for the year at the age of 20, then last month (i’m hidelously ashamed to say) had a bit of an ‘incident’ in it.

😥

Now demoted to a 306 td, costing me £680 a year to insure, which isn’t so bad i guess. They’re insurance group 5 so good for a first car.

I want my 205gti back :hopeless:

tank

i have an extremely reliable and economic nissan micra for sale.. genuine reason for sale.. growing family

has done 100,000 miles, but that’s not too much for a japanese car, you’ll get another 50 – 70,000 out of it before you need to do any major work

12 months tax and MOT, new battery, recent exhaust and tyres, no rust, working stereo

it’s surprisingly nippy and can be parked sideways

£450 due to slightly tatty condition

it is red

First car was a Renault 4, had 205 1.4 for a while, saw many many parties, right little trooper and easy to work on :love: Best bargain, Renault 5 1750 GTX with 10 months test and 4 months tax for £85 from Diss auctions :love: Still got it but need to get working on it over winter to get it back on the road. I’ve had loads of Vauxhall and Fords but they’ve all been fuck cheap put ons so I’ve not been upset when they finally fail but if I was putting money in, I go Japanese or French

I didnt have my own at first had to share with my mum –
who never really drove any were so I got it most days –

an Austin Maestro – like a tank only more difficult to drive and with no power steering hurt like hell to do a 3 – 7 point turns :laugh_at:

my first propper own car was a little metro and it looked shit but was great fun to drive and all mine 😉 appart from the fact I kept being told it was a granny’s car – but cheap and reliable

I now have a corsa but looking at an old triumph dolomite or morris minor as the next one so going back in time ..

I’ve got a Ka and I love it. It does everything, it’s cheap to fix and it’s quite nice, plus it’s SO cheap to run.
