Hi guys!
This isn't another thread asking where they've gone, just wondered if anyone knew of any cars in South Wales with tax and test with a small engine(1.2 ideally) for around 500 quid. Only requirements is the engine size for economy and insurance as I'm only 19 with 4 months on the road, also central locking(remote or in the lock) and working wiring for the stereo!
Have a saxo 1.1 with not until sept and tax until the end of next month with Cambelt done 4 thousand miles ago, new exhaust, two new tyres and new brake pads to part ex!
Help gratefully received smile

Hmm never really considered the micra!
At that age would it have working central locking and decent wiring for a cd player though?

Yes to both central locking and the basic wiring for a sound system (you might need an adaptor kit to fit on the end of the car's existing radio/cassette player harness, but there will be an ignition live, permanent 12v and earth as well as connectors for at least the front speakers and of course an aerial) thumbup .

But try getting insurance quotes before committing wink .
