caseys Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey folks, Hopefully as soon as I've sold the 2nd soop I will buy a sensible run-around for day to day use (i.e get in multistory carparks without praying for the front splitter). I've never actually owned a car that wasn't a supra. So I need a lil advice! Would anyone be able to recommend anything on a budget of around £1500-2000 for a sensible car? Oh yeah, and possibly not french, as it seems my friends citreon/peugeots seem to have gearboxes made of cardboard and hope. Looking at small engined diesel/petrol golf maybe at the moment. 2 door, 4 door, 5 door, any door. Just gotta be cheap, reliable, no-thrills.

Lbm Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Just picked up my Vaxhaul Astra Turbo Diesel for £700...it's ace, no thrills, as you say and 55mpg See my garage.. I'm sure with your budget, you could do even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
