Mk1 - Might go and look at an 04 68k 1.3 Sport in Red at the weekend - anything to look for? They look like cheap and cheerful motoring (not for me!)

Woman at works daughter has one of these. Fucking horrible cars. Had to replace subframe on it last year due to rot. Also the indicator/wiper stalks are on the wrong ways.

When you're getting change from £750 with under 70k I'm not sure what else you'd get with a years test?

From my experience of <£500 cars is within a year or two they end up costing more like £1000, may as buy a £1000 car to start with.
