Hi All

Missus needs a cheap car for a few months, only really want to spend around £1000, anyone know what's best to get? Needs to be reliable and have PAS.

Looking at Ford Fiestas and Ka's at the moment. Seem to be around 80k and 2000 plates, that ok for them?

Any ideas and opinion appreciated!

Cheers

Personally I'd aviod a KA, bought a 30k one on an R reg for my sister and they just seem incomplete.

I had to replace both lower arms, do loads of rustproofing, sort a coolant leak and it's generally just an 'ok' car. Doesn't really do good MPG and they don't feel that well built.

that Audi looks to be in great condition for that price!! doesn't state its history (mileage, tax, mot etc) but could be a tasty bargain for someone!
