Hello people

I've just sold my Clio 200 and need to find myself something ASAP, and best of all, I've no real criteria besides it needs to be no smaller than the Clio as I have to carry quite a bit of stuff for work from time to time..

So, I've never really bought a car for a grand, and there seems to be lots and lots out there...

So, without wanting to get you all into trouble for advertising, I want to buy one of your cars please if you have one for sale...

Hit me with your winter barges. The newer the better I suspect

Thanks

Primera GT......Cant really go far wrong with that. Not too much bigger than your Clio and with similar performace so you wont be 'losing out'.

If I'm honest, I really really don't want to trawl through pages and pages of adverts, I want one of you lot to tell me you've got something for sale, and I'll buy it...

It's my winter car and I'm depressed about the whole situation, much like I am every year frown

an audi b5 a4 avant will sort your needs.
4 wheel drive for the winter and a galvanized body so never any rust issues.
also very well built and cheap spares.
there's nothing not to like.

You can get a decent Ford Puma for £1k.

Something like this.

You can have my ZT-T for £850 lol

Seriously though, why not have a bit of an ebay punt? Just see whats ending soon and that has plenty of test on it and decent history. That's my usual approach of late

Honda Accord, I bought an N plate Accord Aeroshed on the bay for £180 taxed and MOT'd when i started a new job and gave back my company car. It was a 2.2 automatic, 177,000 miles Full Honda service history and everything workd including the AC. Drove it to Rambouillet a couple of time when i was in France, Just a totaly bomb proof car, And its still going today.

Buy something for £700, spend £300 doing servicing, cambelt, brakes and tyres and then you'll have something which is good for another 2 years at least without much work.

Yes, you can get all that done for £300 with a little effort. Part worn tyres, do your own oil/filter, back street garage or mechanic friend to do the cambelt.
