£600 cheap to run and insure

[sparks_E39]

What car for £600 would you choose that is cheap to run, cheap to maintain, and cheap to insure? How fast it is, age etc don't matter.

Nissan micra? Toyota Corola? Honda Civic? Suzuki Swift?

Was thinking this. Needs to last 2 years max, cheap as chips motoring needed....selling the 528

early skoda's are cheap - octavia etc - not too bad a size either

Here you go - bang on budget too - although probably ex-mini cab

This, or maybe a mk3 golf gti 8v depending on your definition of cheap to run.

I've just bought a 1999 Skoda Felicia 1.9 non-turbo diesel. FSH (more or less) - 10 months MOT, 3 months tax. Excellent condition inside. Not at all bad to drive and got 46.9MPG average in a test run yesterday. A mix of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 speed limits.

All for £600.

Tyres will be £42 per corner as and when they need replacing.

Bangernomics doesn't get any better!
