i want a new car

[ben]

Ok it's getting near summer and i want a convertible Looking for a puggy 205 (not the GTI, not very insurance friendly)...

Anyone know anything about them and whether i'd get a decent one for around £500? It's gonna be like a drive in summer, but also learn about cars job, so i guess some work needed would be ok (as long as i knew what it was!)

Mmmmmmm.... a nice red 205 cab

Ben - for shame! What about brand loyalty... how about a Punto cabrio? Then all of that Fiat experience will not go to waste, and also you won't have to learn french to understand the car.

Good luck with the search - you might just get in early enough to beat everyone else who wants a convertible for the summer.



Have a good Weekend!

Of course! Forgot about them, but methinks they will cost quite a bit more... hmm, lets just go search

(off to search....)

(returns...)

£2000 cheapest so far seems it will be a pug. I could only think of a few convertibles tho, 205, golf.. are there any more (old, cheap, but still good looking?)

But a bit big. i think i'm still better off going for the pug. (was a clio soft top ever released?) and what other cars were?

yeah! thats nice, but a cti is high insurance. It seems i want a CJ (1.3 and low insurance).. trying to find an insurance co that allow 2 cars both using same no claims is hard. Churchill will (how nice) but cause i got mods on the bravo won't insure it... BUGGER!
