iv just bought a corsa 1.5 diesel for £500 has a few rust spots, key marks parking dints etc, think it needs a wheel bearing and the exhaust manifold looked at, but for £500 cant really moan it will tidy up nice, return 50mpg and hopefully just keep going.

maybe cosmeticly but doubt you will find something as ecenomical reliable etc.....

I could have bought quite a few cars as i had £700 to spend to but this came up and i thought it was a steal just needs a little TLC.
