Looking for cheap runaround

[Harry you Potter]

I am currently looking for a cheap runaround after selling my previous car. The car I really want is too expensive at moment so want something to just knock about in for now.

I have been looking on the market and everything is really expensive coupled by the amount of rubbish kicking about.

One car I have been looking at which might be a disaster is a MK2 Peugeot 308 16 plate. Looks to have a good history and it’s under £5k so that’s okay. What’s your thoughts ?

Any other suggestions ?

My suggestion would be to give some details about what you want and what you need the car to do.

I suggest you take a look at the most care free thread on PH's 'joy of running a shed' and ask away in there - we drive all sorts of metal, all on usually very strict budgets and many of us win at it....I think.

£5k budget in there is alot of money to spend on a cheap car, so you will be in good company on that thread

I'd recommend doing some research on the reliability of the specific engine fitted to the 308 you're considering.
