I've been asked by my grandparents to get them a new car for about 1k - ?1300 ...

For the last few years he's been driving around in my old corsa sport 1400 lol but as my nan's gettin a little older they wasnt to sell up and get somthing a little bigger with 4 doors. Little brothers have taken over the front passenger seat so nan's been forced to the back lol.

Anyways, I'm stuck on that to look for. And if anybody says Nova 5 door the responce will be
"eat **** and die" :D

I've been looking at BMW 318 vectra's astras etc just wondering if anybody else has any suggestions...

[Dave.]

mk2 micra or a r reg primera?

[bigbened]

[vaughanmc]

zafira?

Get your butt on eBay and have a gander at some of the cars on there. Its always good for a bit of inspuration.

I reckon a Volvo would be good, You can crash them things and its perfectly safe so would keep the old's in good condition if they were ever involved in a accident (not saying they are going to crash because they are old or anything you understand, its just that volvos are a decent car to be in when it all goes tits up).

BMW, then teach 'em to drift lol. What about (ghay) french cars, good saftey ratings, very comfy, cheap - Laguna, 406? or maybe a numpty wagon/MPV style.

Alot of oldies like jap cars as well, accord, civic, R32, 200sx...

when old people drift lol

id be thinking along the lines of vectra, 306 maybe, corolla, mk3 golf ???

[Jack]

200SX and R32 are only 2dr. Plus the latter is b*stard to maintain.

[craig green]

Renault Meganes are an undesirable bargain! Little 1.4's & 1.6's.

Girl I work with got a 1 owner 1.9D on an 02 plate for ?950

only put 'em in for a joke, but R32 (http://www.skylinegts.co.uk/NigelE.htm)'s do come in 4dr

Why are people saying zafira and mk4 astra of ?1300!!! A cav or a vecrta.....

[dannyb]

I would go for a late Mk3 golf/Vento, either in 1600 or a TD flavour. They are good in terms of leg room in the back and there is a lot of space when getting in and out of the back doors. Astras aren't bad, I just think a Golf might be a better buy as it is more solid, safer and easier to get in and out of.

[Dan 130]

what about avensis you can pick them up for ok money good,solid,reliable cant go wrong lol

[craig green]

corolla

Now that sounds right up their street!

[Lee]

Im with Dannyb on this one, an old VW is the thinking mans choice. Built like brick sheds,reliable as anything, and good quality MK3 base cars are uber cheap now.

A 2.0 GL vento would be perfect!

[wisewood]

Toyota Corolla. No old person should be without one.

[Lee]

Do they do a corolla Type R?

As in Rickets, or Retroperitonitis, or Rectal Prolapse??
