i loved my saxo, was easily my most reliable car

Same here. Phase 2 VTR & VTS and neither had a problem.
Actually, the fuel pump went on the VTR. Fact is, the fixes were cheap as fuck! Probably the cheapest cars I've ever had to run/maintain.
I like them, good choice

These cars are getting old now and you will be hard pushed to find a decent one. They will have been ragged from day one! Personally you are asking for trouble buying one.
As for it being a runabout. Why are you wanting to spend cash on it? I'm reluctant to get my 57 plate pug serviced as i'm not keeping it
