Hello there everyone!

I'm Mark, I'm a Leeds fan, I'm new to the forum and I'm a first time driver, Nice to meet you all!

Now the introductions are out of the way, I was hoping somebody might be able to enlighten me on what kind of things I need to look out for in old Ford Fiestas. These are one of the cars I am looking out for in particular. I'm looking at between 2001 and 2004, as it seems relatively easy to find such a car with a low mileage (50000-70000).

What kind of signs do I need to look out for that I might be looking at an unreliable car? What kind of quirks do these cars have, what kind of problems do they typically bump into that can be safely ignored, what kind of problems should I be looking out for to avoid?

Other than that, what kind of general advice can you give me on what to look for in a used car that I should definitely walk away from, and other signs that a car may just be my first car!

Thanks very much! xx
