Hey, i passed my driving test about 6 months ago, and drove a corsa sxi for about 3 months, before going to university. I now require a car again, but to get insured on the corsa is 2k for my age and lack of experience and the engine and version of the corsa.
Therefore i need to buy a new car, im looking at going to auctions, cos my brother picked up a really good sound polo from an auction for a fraction of the price and has had no problems for over a year…
I have about £1,500 but stuck to decide which make and car to do for…I like fiestas a lot, the 2003 onward shape, but im not sure if im being realistic with my budget…
Any suggestions of any other cars which are good for drivers like me which i could pick up for under my budget.
Many thanks in advance
£1500 will certainly not get you a 2003 new shape fiesta unless its a turd. Car prices are well up on last year due to scrappage and a lack of cheaper used cars and plenty of buyers.
With your budget I’d look in your local paper and see what comes up. CAP (car auction price) is going to go up again this month at the cheap end with so many cars having been written off with the recent bad weather.
