Default what car to buy lolz

I got £2k to buy a car.

this includes.

Paying insurance YEARLY (i dont have a monthly income so would rather not have to worry about it)
Tax
MOT
other bits and bobs.

I was looking at fiesta si 1.6's theres one with 21k on the clock for £495 around but i keep thinking it might be a bit gay, it doesnt have alloys like Si's should and welll.....its a bit dog slow.

I was also lookin at turbo volvos but im not sure i can run one and they aint exactly great for cornering.

any thoughts ?

I want to mod whatever it is, sort of sleeper style with just a loud pipe.


thanks

on mk3 si's alloys were an optional extra. if its a minter go for it its hard to find them nowadays.

Or 1.6 escorts are about a grand for a solid one and tif you get a finesse you get alloys, air con etc

I'd imagine you would, giv it a go. i used to have a xe nova and it kept up with focus RS's. very good MPG for a 2.0 16v aswell, plus they're reliable.

couple of options for you.
