Dont really want to spend more than a grand on a motor to go to work and back (5 miles a day) Realistically something not too old and very cheap to run.

Was thinking along the lines of a 1.0 Corsa C?

Just looking for ideas really, just in case I'm missing something obvious

Cheers Billy

 

Old Peugeot with the xud lump. I had a 306 dturbo which I swapped for a 405 estate as I needed something bigger. Get one with Bosch fuel pump and you can run on veg or pretty much anything oil based if you want. Good old lumps. I'm getting 42mpg thrashing it round town loads more on a run

 

Like tomti said, a peugeot would be a good bet. I'd go for a 205 diesel simply because there not worth much and cheap to run.

If it's only 5 miles though, I'd be inclined to just cycle it or use public transport if I'm honest.

 

I fancy a 306d as a run a round, reasonable looking cheap car

 

Some cheap ford focus,s about.Cant beat a focus.

 

I bought a cheap ka to go work and back in. T reg in silver the collection model aswell with 77000 on the clock . It cost me 450 with 12 months test and 3 months tax. its dirt cheap to run and fun to drive really

 

5 miles?

push bike?

walk?

 

Should get an escort, i picked up a mk3 with 80000 on the clock and no body damage for £300!

 

I have a tidy 3dr 306 diesel turbo here, dont use it anymore as i got the rs on the road...........

 

Rover 400 or 45 2.0 turbo diesel. SO good for a cheap diesel, comfortable and no need to worry where you park it etc.

 

ive just picked up a punto 1.2 2001 y plate £200. done headgasket and front pads stands me at less than £300. cracking little car. if you were closer id let you have it.

 

I'd be looking to buy one of these, or something similiar

No tax, no fuel, no MOT and no insurance to worry about.

 

As homosexual as they are get a moped maybe

306 td is excellent car though, seriously run forever

 

I'll have a look at these

And these....

.....and these

Yeah but not when the weather is like this and what about if i wanna run to the shops or a mates etc?

Too old mate.

Rovers aint the most reliable motors


Damn!

 

Where are you have a mk4 1.3 fiesta for sale £500

 

if you have size 9 or under feet then you can't beat a pug 106 D for uber cheap motoring

failing that then 306 td or even citroen zx td are great my ZX just won't die

 

I bought a fiesta 1.25 for £100 needing a clutch 2 years ago i still have it and have done 25000 miles in it. Its been an excellent but its getting abit worn now and i could do with an estate. its done 122000 miles and in doesnt use oil or water. I do change the oil every 6000 miles. ill keep it until another bargain comes along.
