Love my puma but as my wages still ain't great can't seem to shift my o/d so thinking of selling the car and paying off my o/d etc.
any suggestions for a car for about 5k
insurance is sort of an issue but i am 22 with 5yrs no claims and clean licence (touch wood after little trip down to colchester and a little fun with a megane on the way  )

GTi-R Can pickup clean and hardly touched ones from £4k.
Nissan 300ZX TT. Pick these big beasts up from £3k!! Drinks fuel and eats children though.
106GTi or Saxo 16v for small nippy run around.
Mk2 Golf GTi. Bags of styling potential

Ren 5 GTT - trying to find a tidy one that isn't modded to the point of exploding may be hard.
300ZX TT - Don't do it unless you have the same money again to maintain it, 5K will get you a shitter and you don't want a rough 300ZX! 
VTS/106 GTi - Good choice, cheap to run great to drive and all round good motas.
GTi-R - Expect same problems as 300ZX, 5k + loads to run.
200SX - Same as above.
Clios - Same as Saxos/Pug Gtis, good poke for the cash and they will last fairly well too.
How about a nice 205GTi - Mad cars to drive and fairly cheap to keep on the road (apart from mine )
