First of all I am aware of the other find me a car for £1000 thread, but that one is after an old skool hot hatch type car, Im open to other suggestions


Things to consider:

It won't be used very often


Thats about it

One thing I definately don't want is some "modded" nail, just something sensible & kinda plain

Post suggestions please

A 205gti is likely to have been ragged, could be some reliability issues

Just as a runaround, don't need a very hot hatch as I have a 2.0 Corsa for that (when its finished)

It's just for pottering about in

Can i just ask Matt, not a dig or anything. What's the point in having a car if you're not going to use it much.

£1000 to pay out, tax and then insurance
