There a recent thread on here about cars in that price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Currently have no car and money in the bank what to get next as a temporary stop gap? Only looking to spend around £5k-6k , reliable and cheap to run which isn't going to put me off driving ?!? Why on earth are you looking to spend that much? This has now given me a kick up the back side to save hard to move out by next year. This does however mean getting a 'sensible' run around If you're trying to save up and move out then why waste all that cash on a "sensible run around". You're obviously barking or just loaded. Have a look at what 14N got as a sensible run about for less than £2K. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81561-my-clio-182-daily-driver-new-bits-on-their-way/ That's the sort of thing you should be looking at imo if you are only after a run about that you can still enjoy driving. For the cash you're on about spending I'd have just fixed the Zed as there is no way it would have cost that much to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 No your right , but the money I Have to spend is what I got for the zed ... I don't want to touch savings At the same time I want a car that isn't going to break down every day as I do a lot of miles for work , hence a 500 pound banger is out of the question lol By sensible a car that is cheap to run , insure etc so I save money on a monthly basis but doesn't look like your nan would drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hey Fug, I bought my '04 GTZed with full NSH, piles of paperwork including original delivery note with @ 75K on the clock and haven't had any trouble at all (bar a drivers door window motor which was repaired under warranty), Its also my daily driver and it cost me just under £7k 2 years ago, so you could effectively get yourself another Zed without wasting money on a runabout.

GMballistic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Below are just a few examples of fairly decent motor's for sale currently around the £2000-£2500 mark that would be fun yet still fairly sensible for a run about imo. 2002 Ford Focus ST170 £2000: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403282887958/sort/default/usedcars/page/1/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/postcode/cf158rl/onesearchad/used/price-to/2500/transmission/manual/fuel-type/petrol/seller-type/trade_adverts/price-from/2000/radius/200?logcode=p 2002 Renault Clio TSport 182 (with 2 years warranty included) £2150: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201401201160102/sort/default/usedcars/transmission/manual/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/fuel-type/petrol/body-type/hatchback/price-to/2500/seller-type/trade_adverts/page/1/postcode/cf158rl/price-from/2000/make/renault/onesearchad/used/radius/200?logcode=p 2003 VW Golf 2.3 V5 (one lady owner ~ FSH) £2495: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403032195355/sort/default/usedcars/transmission/manual/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/page/2/price-to/2500/radius/200/seller-type/trade_adverts/price-from/2000/body-type/hatchback/onesearchad/used/model/golf/postcode/cf158rl/fuel-type/petrol/make/volkswagen?logcode=p This way you save some of the cash you got for your Zed in case any servicing/repairs does need doing, plus some of the cash can be used for insurance.
