You want something older but cheaper to run than a Nova? Most older cars I can think of are either more fun to drive, but this is reflected in the price (think decent condition MK1 Golf, decent condition 205 GTis - the only worthwhile 205s, mk2 Escorts). Anything else older than a Nova that is cheaper is bound to be some crap like an Allego. Im not sure if there is a cheaper car to run through college than a Nova! Its not old enough to be a bona fide cult classic, yet its not new enough to command big prices. Most parts are available in Motor factors, scrappers, here or ebay (apart from 5 door window regulators.....grrr) and generally have low values. Older cars like escorts are getting dear to buy bits for (panels, trim etc) do appaling fuel economy and dont usually handle as well as a Nova on ?150 suspension unless big money is chucked at them.
i would go for a mk4 escort bonus/popular 3 door, red,blue,black,silver show cage, full recaros out or rs turbo, lower it about 60/70mm on rs series 2 alloys, even a 1.6rs engine woudlnt go a miss, all easily done aswell and cheap!!!:thumb:
Please tell me your taking the p1ss??Quote:

I'd hate to have my EX riding around with me, even if it was in an 'mint' Escrote!Quote:

or get a VX :)
my mates selling a mint mk2 fiesta, lightish blue, 45k genuine miles, xr2 kit, polished ford alloys ( aint sure which ones, retro ones though) erm lowered 50mm i think, he wants 495ono.....
if you can find a nice mk1 fiesta, go for it. or another nova. cheap as chips to mod and always look good with rims and a suspension tweak.
i like the mk1 golf idea, stu still want the cage bud ;)
fords dont really do anything for me unless it was a 100e mmmmmm
cheap to run isnt a massive thing more, cheaper to buy and insure/classic insurance would be nice as my old 1600 bug only cost me 400 a year :D
