Ahh just written this but I don't think it worked.

Sumarry:

My insurance quote I just got was £597.
I can afford that but I stupidly sold my car.

Any recommendations of cheap cars? (i mean cheap, uno sold for £325 and would have lasted me nicely, I am an idiot )

I am only in the thinking stages so I can't get too excited!

how much you got? there are loads of gooduns about for around £300

At the moment I am probably looking at that money, need to speak to parents and grandfather about whether it's a "goer" mum says yes, she'll give me £250, got to see grandpa about anything he might give (I know he wants me to drive as he misses me).

However, £350 would probs be my limit :S

What's going cheap Dave right now? Remember I don't mind "uncool" (within reason) don't mind diesel (aslong as insurance isn't affected) just need something cheap to buy/run and won't go wrong (touch wood lol).

Get another UNO Better the :devil: you know!

What I am hoping to do but I just looked on autotrader....2 within 40 miles and both no good?! Have to check the local paper.

*reality check, speak to grandpa first!*

unos look like a good bet atm, they are unpopular with boy racers so not been thrashed

7yeah just get another uno... i got one for £320 yesterday.. picking up today.. u can buy it off me when i get my cinq back

for get autotrader, what wrong with local car auction? or ebay, if there an ebay one you like and its near here i dont mind going to check it out for you

Go for a nice French Renault 5. Barried to the max...

Get a nice mk2 uno again I actually walked past one the other day here in Loughborough for £250 (Goddam awful green though)

Older cinqys are going for a couple of hundred quid, and they don't rust like some other cars (no, not having a pop at Unos or anything in particular).

can you put up with left hand drive? that LHD one on ebay looks very clean

Wouldn't LHD really affect the insurance premium?

But Ren 5s I don't think are as good as unos IMO.

A 899 cinq sounds bad though - it's not the fire engine is it? That's the one we know a bit about and it's also 10% larger capacity.

LHD = would kill my insurance! Would be different though!

Local car auction is fine just I don't live here, will be going back for a good few weeks this weekend so not entirely an option for me, ebay is all well and good but problem is it's so nationwide and I would defnitely need to check out a car before buying.

Anyway, got to speak to dad and grandpa (in that order apparently or my mum will be mad!)

£600 insurance without even trying makes me grin! lol

£600 insurance would make me cry

Hey, you could have had my old Mondeo 2.0 Ghia X - I practically gave it away.

Only downer would be Group 12 insurance, lol.

D'oh

I am in the middle of talks with mum who is off work ill (soft target ) an hour a go she was practically telling me to go for it, not is much more reserved, grrr!

Still though, on the look out for a well maintained Uno L/M with less than 80k on the clock, 999 ie.....

oooh yeah!

FIAT UNO K reg, tax May, MoT Oct, used daily. £125 _ Telephone 0115.....

I could do with one of them too

Only around birmingham...

Phoning the guy now, my rabbits need a new shed

I will phone up again (just tried, no answer) later after speaking with grandpa, T&T (10 months MOT!) isn't bad, could be on the road until uni next year for £700...
