Anyone have a cheap 106 GTI or similar?

[Mc lovin]

My current car is no more, i need to replace it immediatly as i'm due back at Uni tomorrow. Has anyone got a cheap 106 gti, or something similar (cheap but not boring and fairly good on fuel).

Funds are very tight, so i dont want to waste the money i have on something thats going to break down. I've been searching the net all day but i've had little joy, everything that looks good for the right money has allready been sold.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Yeah cheers Jonboy, never thought of that....

They would be right though, i'm desperate, but i'm just not sure i'm saxo desperate, well maybe (i'll go have a look )

So many lexus lights and window tints....

Gutted the ax isn't cheaper, would have loved one of those.

Any other idea's that might fight my criteria?

I'm thinking under a grand, i know its a lot to ask for but, i know there must be something out there usually i'd get a mk1 golf cab, or a mk2 gti 8v for less but they seem to be very thin on the ground at the moment.

I had a 106 rallye before so i thought i'd give the 106 gti a look. I'm not stuck on hatchbacks though, open to all idea's.

what are they like on petrol? I need something fairly economical (which is why i was looking at the smaller petrol engines)

I know, i looked at 205's to start with and the prices have rocketed. same with the golf mk2 and the AX. Real shame tbh.

My GTI-6 did about 30mpg, would drop though when pushed hard. My Saxo managed about 35mpg, fast road cams and never, ever driven slowly

up to 30 is a little on the low side for me, 30 and up is all good though.

This is the main problem, some of them would be perfect but alot of them are sold, its such a waste of time.

Whats the megane like on fuel? i dont know much about puma's, but could be tempted into one...

wow that saxo is pretty good actually, i'll try that one
