Got around the £1000 mark to spend what to get????

Any ideas been looking at

Rs turbo escort or fiesta
Golf gti
Rs2000
Cheep Clio sport
Xr2 or 3i
What you got

 

what about a 306 of some variety dont know if you can get a gti-6 for that money.

 

MG ZS!!!!

 

RS2000 in my opinion

 

nice S1 look cab in the rst section

 

Yep thought about a 306 gti but my daily car is 306 hdi so want somthing a bit different, been looking at some rs2000 but many now seam to need lots of welding underneath and don't want to end up with a total shitter

I do relise I'm not going to get a minter for a 1k before people say

 

+1 it looks mint for a grand

 

^^id be all over it myself if i had the space LOL

well worth the coin

 

Does look bloody nice and I do like mk3 escorts

 

A grand's worth of RS Turbo would be a nail!

 

Clio 172 or 182

 

get on it mate, its on dellorto's too

 

A grand's worth of RS Turbo would be a nail!
Yep I know mate I've been there before but just love them

A Clio would be good fun until it broke down

 

you could get a very good mondo or coog for that money

 

Mk5 zetec s. Can get a puma power one for that much allday long. Bought mine as a winter hack 2 years ago and still love it.

Returns 35 mpg and sits on the rev limiter every Time it's used.

 

^^agreed i quite like these

 

WTF

 

Mg Zr

golf gti mk4

xr4i

hmmm.. saxo vts for few hundred quid maybe.. lol

 

subaru impreza

 

why waste a grand

any old ford will be shit at a grand be it xr2 frst rst or a 3i

from my view it seems you have a car and its ecconomical so do you need to buy a low end different car just to pay 2x tax 2x insurance and all the other tosh


i woudl buy that cabbie cos its looks great for a grand and i would if it was local but i just store em away then sell em years later


i'd buy a new tv (if you need one) and bank the rest or bank it all and buy something later if it poppes up, crosser or summet

 

Out of the above its deffo got to be a clio sport.

 

106 gti i have one its great i got to get rid of it tho as ive just bought another leon cupra 20vt

 

Phase 1 172.

aircon, comfy seats, amazing chassis, sweet engine, not terrible on fuel

Cant beat them for that money IMHO

 

If you have any 182s for sale in non crashed condition for 1K ive got lots of 1Ks waiting to buy them all with!

 

dont forget the loan for fuel

 

Primera GT - great handling and bullet proof 150'bhp
SAAB 9-5 turbo 2.3 lot of car for the money can be tuned up to big power
Omega 3.0'v6 - drives like a 5 series but costs peanuts
Puma - brilliant handling nice engine horrible seats and for £1k will be rusty around the arches
MR2 mk2 - good for £1k will get you one with no rust

 

MK2 Fiesta.... Few hundred quid more, slap a zetec in it and there you have it FUNTOWN.

 

Think before coming up with suggestions, we need to know it's use. I'm guessing weekend blast. Based on that I would say if Ford then a 1.7 Puma. Most other Fords for less than a grand are on their last legs apart from maybe an ST24. I don't know why Clio 172s are associated with unreliability, as long as cambelt and dephaser pulley has been done it should be fine, amazing how few problems are posted about them on related forums. As mentioned above MR2. Got an ST24 and they're great barges. Missus has the Puma and it's great for a blast and I am looking at getting a 172 for track fun. Most French hatches are ideal for low budget track use.

 

Pmsl - they're well looked after then.

 

Yep cheers mate it's purpose will be a weekend and evening bit of fun, liking the idea of a clio anybody know of a mate selling?
