Default New car thread (I've screwed up)

Right..

A good mate of mine rang me the other week to talk about my leon, despite me pricing it 6/700 quid above the going rate as I needed to get back £3500 for it and it wasn't for sale he still brought it...

Not to worry I thought, I'll drive the clio round... its an ok car etc.. then they cancelled Donno full noise day so I am quids in and happy days..

Problem is- I have been driving round in it for 2 days and I've remembered why I sold my 182... anyways...

What do I replace the leon with- budget is £3500 or a little more.

Car needs to be 2000 onwards really... reliable within reason... sensible miles and comfortable...

Somet around the 200bhp mark...

I've had a mind freeze....
(and yes another leon and pocket the diff might be an idea LOL)

Nothing... but everything has a price and with a car like that theres so many out there that if I got a buyer I'd happily sell it to save the hastle of selling it properly.
