the 318 needs to go, so im m.o.t ing it and getting shut, too much for what i want, high tax/insurance, thirsty - dont get me wrong nice motors but need something cheaper to run
need ideas for the next runabout so its gotta be
Economical
pref in the lower tax bracket but not essential
reliable
low insurance
i dont want an absolute shitter, something nice to keep tidy and stick a couple of subtle mods on. Budged depends on how much i save up but im gonna say around 2k

It'll just go wrong and be very expensive.
My idea of a cheap runabout is a 106 1.5D or a Corsa TD
