I'm wanting to buy a new car soon. Any ideas on what I should get? Im after something small and easy to run. Price ranger is about 3 grand max. :( Anyone have a reccomendation? It doesn't have to be brand new.. Give me some model ideas. Plus rep for good help. :) Thanks.
Hmm.. I think a car like this would be good:

Although the 'buy it now' price is over your price limit, you could bid on it.
On second thoughts, it looks a bit too hard to run, hang on lemme look for some more
This one looks nice (click) and its within your price limit!
Ebay is a good place to search for cars, thats if you can trust it..
citroen saxo
ford fiesta
vauxhall corsa
peugeot 206
fiat punto
mm, just try garages/car sellers around your area to see what range they have
I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX with 45000miles and it worked out to be about 7500pounds.
I know 7500 pounds is over your budget, but that is for an Accord with everything (alloys, nav, leather, moonroof, A/C & power everthing). But I think that a well equiped accord or civic would work?
I ebayed some cars.

It all depends on your budget.
Ford ka (i dont like it but its cheap and cheerful)
Peugeot 106,206
Fiat Punto (new one and old)
Mercades A class (They are quite cheap)
Audi A2 (They are quite cheap).
You also have to remember about the insurance groups. Some cars are high, some are low. Ford Ka is insurance group 2 lol which is cheap. I think it goes to something like 20 but im not 100%. So before buying a car, check what insurance group as if you are anew driver it will cost a bomb load of money if it is quite high.
I was just looking on ebay, and they do loads of cars for decent pirces, but all you can trust is the pictures they show you.
I'd just suggest cars that everyone else has suggested
Peugeot 106,206
Renault Clio
VW Golf
Corsa
You can also go to those car auction places aswell.
Yeah, get like a bank repo.Quote:

ty for your help peoples i have a bit of a better idea now. I guess you get what you pay for. ;l
A Pug 206 is cheap, and easy to run
um. i like the yaris's :].
my mum has one and theyre bare wkd.
A Fait Punto Xbox :P
get a fiat punto for a number of reasons, good car with a small engine so the insurnace will be lower cost, the car still handles very well and there is a fair few around so it will mean a cheaper price but not a change in quality. It is a hard car to chav up as well so your safe to admit you have that car to you friends and the value of them doesnt drop very far after purchuse i think its only 1/5 of the price every 2 years which is better than most
basically buy a fiat punto
vaxhaull corsa is a good choice, small engine so not as bad on feul consumption light car so can pick up speed good.
its £5995 brand new with 1 year free insurance for 19+
and a few years 0% finance
i think a mini copper is nice, get the sports version and mod it up a bit
the one problem with that though is that it is a vauxhallQuote:
