will she get one for 2K tiff? she would rather spend 1.5k, she does not give a fuck what it looks like, it will only go shapping every now and again and picking up my kids, as she uses the bus most of the time.

There was a 307 HDi at a local independent near me a few weeks ago for bang on 2k so they are out there...

MK1 Focus or Astra G would be my choice though...

think it would be too small for her, she likes to fuck off to the garden center and purchase small forests.

so we looking astra class, she may go bigger, but she is a shit driver and big car may be to much to handle
