General Thinking of selling my uno 999cc mk2

[fiatunoturbolover]

Im thinking of selling my uno mk2 999cc, and ideally going for Uno turbo (mk2) or a VW golf (mk2.) I have seen a decent mk2 golf, but its a 1.3 litre and I have been told 1.3 golfs are a waste of time as they have trouble pulling their own weight. Is that true?

Also, I have seen a really nice golf mk2 1.6 litre, but its done over 130,000 miles.

As far as the uno turbo idea goes, Im not looking to spend more than £400-500 pounds, and Im not sure what sort of condition car I can expect for that much money.

What sort of condition mk2 uno would I be able to get for the 400 - 500 pounds mark?

for 400 - 500 quid expect to get one without an MOT which will need work to put back on the road, you wont get much at all for that kind of money.

As OldSkools says I think you'll struggle to find a roadworthy car for that sort of money. Ebay cars without MOT and unknown problems reach these sorts of figures. I reckon you're looking in the region of £750 for a car with a long MOT and reasonably sorted. A nice clean example will attract closer to £1000 perhaps even a little more.

Rob_Mk1 bought his Mk1 for £250 but appears to have required a fair amount of work to get it on the road. Fortunately he is a skilled welder and dedicated to getting it sorted.

Forget a 1.3 golf, it is a much bigger car and will be very slow especially compared with an Uno Turbo. A 1.6 would struggle to match the performance but is much better matched than the smaller 1.3.
