if you're really serious on buying a car then you wont go and buy clothes and ****..

[Kieeran]

Check autotrader for cheap cars, or even ebay motors. Though if your buying privately make sure u do an HPI check,

That will tell u if the cars stolen or wrote off or if anything has happend to it.

you'll be lucky to get a car and insurance for under 3k.

You have 3k for a car and insurance, of course your buying one second hand!

Autotrader is the place to look, a lot of people stick their cars on ebay if they have problems so I wouldn't look there. Always make sure they are HPI clear, if they don't have full service history then make sure the pedals, seats, steering wheel, doors and the sound of the engine match the mileage. If you have any local garages then go check them out and see if they have any cheap cars in. Good luck and make sure you don't buy a crapper.
