... Would you buy?

Will be my only car (Im loosing my job with a company car) so needs to be semi reliable Im not working far from home for my new job so fuel costs are not really an issue Nor in insurance.

Just want something 'Fun' and reliable(ish)

What would you be looking at?

So far i thought about a Clio 172 Cup or something like that?

I just paid 3k for a mint pulsar!

I have thought about one but feel funny handing over 5k for a car that has 100k+ miles on the clock, I know a cossie will probably have the same as well, but will the BMW hold its money when time comes to move it on?

I May be wrong but a big desiesel Boat does not sound that much "Fun"

I Saw Radders, And i do like them, Very Tempted as Value for money seems very good!

Clio 172 Cup has to be your best bet mate. Not bad MPG and pretty quick and reliable

Reliable I work for Renault UK (Thats the job im being made redundant from) They are probably the best of the bunch as far as renault go but knowing what i know as much as they look fun im not convinced

What are the Jap imports Like the GTIR and Glanza like for getting parts for though, I still associate imports as having a bit of a stigma with regards to parts and service back up.

i used to use mine everyday and the only draw back was the fuel economy on short journeys, round town prob see 60-70 miles on £20

other than that, they are fine for use everyday, probably more reliable that way too

could maybe grab yourself an Evo 4 for that kind of money

I've never had problems getting bits for my Pulsar, I've had a clutch and 3 CV boots from Nissan within a day of ordering them. My local Nissan dealer couldn't give a monkies that it's an import, a few hundred were sold over here as Sunny GTi-R's so 99.9% of parts are the same.

Other little bits like seat belt clasps, alternator, strut brace, engine have come second hand from owners club people. No more expensive that cossie stuff.

VR6 Corrado, for £5K you would get a good one with FSH & 60-70K on the clock. Would be my choice.

Jim Galbally

my M3 was the best 5k i ever spent

-J-

I know M3s are great, I had a blast in My mates M3 evo with No2 and it was a rocket!

Old mans a BMW Tech so would be handy i guess

Corrados are most deff not my cuppa, and ive heard the VR6 is very Nose heavy and prone to understeer.

Have just found 3 cars i like the look of bit over my price range but might be able to work around that -
