    Default If you had a £1000 to buy a car...

    ... what would you get?

    Reason I ask is that I'm car sharing at the minute and funds are very tight so in the next couple of months I'll be looking at buying something cheap

    Depends, if you want cheap speed go for something like a saab 900 turbo. I loved mine.

    Get another nova ? Decent minters can be found for a G, just look what Rich/Novasport found

    I know you miss not having one cheap to maintain as well

    Possibly but it wont be a road car so it doesnt matter to me. Southie, I'm sure Matt Vaughan is selling his Corsa Sport - he put sumat on face**** the other day

    A Nova is a no no now tbh as I need something that I can use daily without wondering if it will break

    Possibly a focus maybe but not a Corsa either unless it's a good one as they rot more than Novas do at the grand mark.

    Rich it won't be for a couple of months though so Matt is bound to have sold his by then.

    This wedding is crippling me
