Think your username has answered your own question

 

rubbish french shit she hates it not far from you in stockport

 

Fiesta or focus - job done!

 

I'd go for a little Corsa. Spares plentiful, easy to fix, cheap to insure and buy. My son's got one. It's been cat C'd 3 times and each time we've put it back together ourselves using 2nd hand parts from the scrappy or Ebay.

 

If she's killed two box's and an engine maybe an auto would be best ho an how about a ford ka ?

 

lol might try focus

 

Ka's like the Corsa, spares plentiful, cheap and cheerful.

 

Fiesta MK4 1.25 16v , cheap as chips, nippy enough yet frugal and reliable. Nice to drive around town and so many to choose from picking up a nice one will be easy.

If you go the mk4 route over the mk5 you'll get a better example as they are less sort after than the mk5. And the KA's tend to be even more £££ as they are more popular.

Normally pick them up with a/c, electrics, cd player etc.

 

2 boxes and an engine maybe invest in some driving lessons,
i used to dog the shite out of these hot rodding and never broke anything other than odd head gasket,
how about 1.25 zetec fiesta, id avoid corsa's esp 3 cylinder versions

 

i dunno really ive always had fords from being a teenager love them im 50 know lol ive had a few but went from ford to subaru to renault it wiill be defo bk to ford my wife runs a 2003 festa and had it from new never let her down mind at 30k right bk on topic daughter does not like the old zetecs only like my wifes and would like a astra as she has a baby jst done a insurance quote 110 pounds per month for a focus 1600 or a punto like she has 80.00 per month cant be right

 

Citroen zx 1.9 diesel.

cheap & goes for ever too! will have money to spare too!

down side is not that quick....

 

Pm'd

 

I know a girl selling a 51 plate corsa local to me. Alloys big bore decals, she want a bag of sand though
