Car for a grand
Discussion
Hey guys,
First time poster, long time reader here. Having just sold my MX-5 due to an expanding family I'm in need of a new car. Due to money being tied up in other things I have exactly 1,000 to spend on a car. I was looking at something fun to drive, good on fuel and enough room for a baby seat in the back. All help will be muchly apreciated.

I just sold a really minty 2.0 SE Bora for 620, superb value, honestly it wasnt far off like new to look at but people will spend three times that on a bazzed up, worn smooth 130 tdi Golf, with 190k on that uses as much (expensive) engine oil as diesel (also more expensive). What you want is lookd after but unloved models, don't try to compete for anything trendy, iconic or diesel, my recommendation would be a Petrol engined Japanese car,
Not the prettiest but probably reliable and a little bit different.

Also, the previous Gen Saab 9-3, I had an LPT and it was a great car, not the last word in handling but a nice drive, lovely engine, not too bad on fuel and felt like a much more expensive car, would have another, preferred it in some ways to the one that followed.
Look for something that someone is struggling to sell due to the markets utter fixation with diesel, contrary to what people think, it isnt free motoring !
