Agreed!!...

an older car would be a better bet, a GSi cav or a Saph Cossie...you'd be getting a better build and more respected car.

new cars arent build to last at all...hell i wonder how some '55' plate vehicles are still goin sometimes!



Have to disagree there mate, Cavs and Sierra's rust which is why 90% of them are in the scappys.

Respect - For having a 15 - 20 year old rep mobile

Having an old car that costs loads to maintain and needs £££ spending on MOT's every year is not exactly economical.

I've finally realised that what everyone was telling me for years was actually true :

Or the Cougar for that matter.

In fact you'd probably struggle with the El camino too.

Yeah, just imagine all the newer 2nd hand cars if no-one bought a new car..........



Anyway, £8k, buy a sports bike (for fun, speed) and a cheap little low cc runaround car for the wet/cold days (for wimps) and when you become a taxi.

I cant believe the amount of people saying Cavaliers and Sierras with £8k to spend, you would have to be off it! Id get a TT or something similair...

Or a BMW of some sort...

add £500 and get this,

Yes its a high mileage but it says full service history,aslong as its pretty detailed and all there,cant see the milage as a problem.

Fookin ell, that must be seriously quick, 340bhp from a 1.6 and its relaible as well according to the fella that built it.

Handling to die for and mega quick but looks subtle, pretty much a perfect car lol

Still wouldnt pay that kind of money for it tho
