Tomorrow i will be buying a Chim smile but i need a snotter as sharing the old mans (temporary thing) isn't working...pooped out to see the squeeze earlier and was late back...he was going out and needed the car= not amused.

The car will be a work/weekday hack and ANYTHING goes, has to be cheap, reasonably reliable and gentle on the juice...an estate would be ideal but a little hatch will do. Budget is sub 500 quid.

Seen these gems on the trader...

The Polo looks the best out of that lot, although it won't have PAS. Very solid little cars. A little TLC and you should be able to sell it on for £600+

This looks like it'll do a turn.

I had one before. Boring as anything, but a very good reliable car. Will happily do big miles.

I recently picked up a mk3 golf for £500 with tax and test. it has needed, so far, a 95p exhaust clamp and a wash. good little car.

I'd be in the polo straight away, my wife's nephew has has one for a few years - from 17, now 20, drove it through a drystone wall, needed a headlight, bumper and I mole gripped the bonnet straightish - will not die. fantastic car.

Polo looks good but it looks like its sitting very high, or is it just me?
