Hi,
Thinking of buying a P1 for summer. I will only need it from this month to the end of september. Couple of quick questions though,
1) Are these cars pretty reliable, assuming i get an AA inspection, Im not likely to incur engine failures and alike?

2)Do you think a P1 will hold its money pretty well over this period of time. I was thinking of getting one of the cheapest ones in the country?

3) Do you think this is the car to have, I will be loaned up to the high hilts to have about 13k max to spend on the car, cant afford to loose much money on it? (Insurance etc excluded)

Thanks very much.

Its not so much an investment I am after...

Its damage limitation, I reconsise i will loose some money, but limiting that amount is my primary aim.
I can go for unique'ish car like the subaru, or something normal like an exciting Vectra. I just thought i far more likely to save money buying something a bit unique, rather than a 'normal'car.
