£5000 to spend you can get a fantastic used car for that. Remember that until recently you could get a brand new one for £6500... First place to look (assuming you don't want a modified motor) is fiat.co.uk at
www.fiat-approved-cars.co.uk
For £5000 you can get this Mk2.5 nearly new 53 Reg with only 3500 miles. or a slightly older one that's faster. These are for my area (Essex) but just type in your postcode I'm sure there will be similar deals. They all come approved with warranty etc. Good luck.
