any ideas peeps.

due to start a new job in jan, so will mean loosing the company van ive been used to for the last 3 years.

would have used the 3dr, but thats not going to happen now!

will be doing about 100 miles a week to and from work.

so until the insurance side of things is settled, i need something that will:

a. be reliable
b. reasonalby cheap to use, fuel etc.
c. not be so fucking shat it will ruin my street cred

cheers

 

I think your street cred went a long time ago mate

 

diesel focus,mine cost 500 all in and tootles about with no myther prob does 120 mile at weekend.

 

i believe gup off here had something as he asked me the other day but cant remember wha it was but maybe worth an ask?

 

Gimmie 2 mins!!!

ps if it snows round here, the roads are usually fucked, so 4wd would be an advantage lol

 

Right,clocked this earlier and thought it was a bargain.

There's also a xsara vts below for Ł600 with t&t.

Loads of cheapies on there,sure there's a tdi golf for Ł1300?you could make some ŁŁŁ on that afterwards!!

I've got a Corsa available in the new year for Ł600 with (then) 5 months t&t but it maybe too small for your needs?

 

My mate just sold my old one for Ł500 with t&t,gutted I was as I'm skint!!!

 

cheers mate, something to bear in mind.

ill have to see exactly how much cash ill have to play with after xmas...

things always happen at the worst of times!

might even tap up the insurance to see if i can get a courtesy car... but dont know if i can.

 

dunno where you are mate but assuming down south...

Got a very tidy X reg Escort 1.6 Finesse here with mot till Nov 2011, taxed till end of Feb, lowish miles at 79k, drives great (put new wishbones and track rod ends on for test) and has Ford CD player and nicer 7 spoke alloys etc for 700 quid - been 100% reliable in the snow, started first time after being underneath a pile of snow for 2 weeks!

 

top man cheers paul just sent a pm dude

 

ave just got the wagon version for running about in. should be fun in the snow

 

As long as it's cheap, reliable, legal and keeps you warm and dry for a grand does it matter ?

 

Dan; got a motor for you here if you want it

2001 Y plate peugeot 206, 1.4l, 90k, 5 door in green, its even got a cd player!. Ł900

give me a buzz or drop me a PM

 

306 td can't go wrong if you want a 4x4 maybe a discovery? Payed Ł700 for mine off here over 2 years ago and she's never missed a beat use it every day.

 

That's what I used to have,perfect in the snow,still great fun as well!!!good heaters as well.

I sold it to my mate for Ł1500 but he just let it go for Ł500 with t&t and a fucked heatermatrix as he was strapped for cash.I'm devastated I'm poor!!!

 

are the wagons cheaper to insure or just the same?
