Post by AnilS » Sat Dec 06, 2014 9:55 am

Criteria is;
No more than £500 ideally

1.0 - 1.6 engine preferred

Manual

Good MOT

Plenty of life left in it.

Something along the lines of a Lupo/Arosa/Swift/Polo/Ibiza/Focus ........................... You get the picture.

Prefer something no more than 30 miles from B61 and happy to pay cash on collection.

Thanks  ;)

Stick with a Polo, the first one I bought for the children was a delight to maintain with no expense during the 3 years / 30k miles. You can still understand the engine workings as well on those cars  :))
