First Car?

[Metric1]

Get a Clio like I did. 1.2 Dynamique would be your best option for style etc.

You want one with less than 60k miles, full service history (FSH) and not too old if you can.

60k miles!

that's nothing!

I would say that the best first car you can get is a Rolls Royce Phantom (250k+).

If that is out of your price range.. unfortunately then I would say something like a Bently Arnage (175k+), even still if that is out of your price range maybe a Range Rover Overfinch (100k+). And if you really are pinching the pennies a Pegeuot 206 (5k+).

Haha, no I think they're all in his price range!

No, it is quite a lot. Just because you have loads of miles on your cars doesn't mean everyone else does.

They still work fine! The higher the miles = cheaper the price, if a car with high miles is going to work the same as a car with fewer miles, I know what the obvious choice is for me.

Also, have you ever thought about a car with a salvage title, they tend to be cheaper, and most times you can never tell it was in an accident!

Clio or Saxo

It depends whether it's motorway miles or city miles. There's a huge difference.

And i'd recommend a Clio or Corsa. I've driven a friend's Punto and it was crap so i'd not recommend them.

I plan on selling mine in once it hits around 125k miles, I know that the last 75k miles I put on are highway, and I don't know about the previous 45k. If you maintain a car well (i.e. preventative maintenance), and change the oil regularly, it will last for a long time. I would love to keep my car because the body is in great shape and the engine runs fine, but recently I noticed the transmission slipping from drive to neutral, so I had a transmission cooler installed and it hasn’t done it since, but the transmission man said that within the next 20 or 30k it will need replacing.

I recommend a Ford Fiesta, they're easy to drive and have a cool boot/tail gate opening button

How much did that cost you btw?

It's a 2003 1.2 Dynamique, 45k miles £3100.
