Best looking car for £5k?
Discussion
Hi all,
Apologies in advance if I've posted this in the wrong place. I'm about to turn 21 and I'd like to sell my 2004 VW polo and buy something a bit better looking. I've got 1 year no claims and my budget is £5k including insurance.
I was thinking of buying a Mazda RX8 PZ, however its insurance group is 30+. I recon I could get one for £3500 but I'd then have to fork out £2500 for insurance. I also considered getting a corsa, but half of the lads my age seem to have one and I'd rather buy something a bit more unique. Can anyone suggest an appropriate car that I could drive for £5k max? I like the way the Audi A1 looks, as well as the latest VW polo hatchback and the 2003 BMW M3 - however these are all out of my price range.

For a start its around £500 for a years tax on a PZ so with the new tax rules that's £3,500 on car, £500 on tax £1k insurance now you said your quoted £2.5k for insurance.
So as I said earlier forget the RX8 you cannot afford to buy one which also means your unlikely to afford the running costs.
Fair enough. I'm definitely interested in the Toyota Celica and VW Golf MK4, but particularly the Alpha Romeo 147 (post facelift).So as I said earlier forget the RX8 you cannot afford to buy one which also means your unlikely to afford the running costs.
