right, if i dont get this golf sorted i need to sort a second car

cheap insurance preffered, diesel would be great thiough i have heard of expensive repair bills with some!

gotaa be nice enough to spend 8-10 hours a week, auto would be bonus as i spend most of my time on the north circ in traffic

suggestions?

 

mk4 astra g runnin bio diesel

ex-po-po so well looked after and low miles

 

Where can you get an ex-po-po one from?

 

Pug 307 HDi..............................

 

auctions

I have had mine for 3 years now and its been spot on.

Literally cheap as chips to run.

Ex-police cars are very well maintained. I have receipts for everything, even down tot he bulbs that were changed

Am thinking of selling it now tho as only work 10 mins away and would rather take the E36 sideways in the mornings to work

 

I say it every time a suggestion of a cheap runner comes up and I'll say it again. Rover 45d (IXL). It's genuinely surprising how good they are.

 

yes but rovers have a worse stigma than vauxhalls

 

You ain't gonna get much kudos from a £1500 runabout either way. I wouldn't have recommended one until I had one as a courtesy car for a week once. For a car to use as a runabout, carfree and not worry where you park it or what happened to it, it was fantastic.

 

which is exactly what i use my ashtray for - awesome car and fairly modern and confortable.

handling isnt too bad either - not sure if thats down to any police mods as it has a tremendous amount of grip

 

What ya spending the rest of the budget on???? My MO's for sale in the for sale section...

Which auction? Where?

 

wow never even had a first car for 1500 never mind a second

 

Mondeo 1.8Td, you'll get a tidy Mk1 for £1500, My Uncle had one for about 3 years and loved it, just keep the oil topped up and they keep going and going.

Vectra 1.7Td, again £1500 will get you a tidy one, I would prefer the Mondeo though.

 

so you bought those old style comps then......goog lad!

just had mine redone so gonna stick with standards for now

 

i just bought a new car for the missus yesterday for £1400 a 2000 skoda actavia 1.9 tdi estate 110 hp, 110000 miles with fsh. apart from needed a new splitter and a little scrape on the drivers door its pretty mint and drives literally like new, basically a vw passat without the pricetag
