Cheapish Car

[fcukcov]

Looking for a car for me mum.

She has upto 2 grand to spend and ideally wants a diesel anyone know of any knocking around? Im looking in all the usual places and a couple have come up but she needs it fairly soon. She wants something fairly small with 4 doors (not essential but ideally again) and relatively low mileage.




On a slightly related note does anyone wanna buy an L-reg Vauxhall Astra 1.7 diesel that needs slight attention? Pm me for full details if you are interested.

Lovely car, did you get the diesel, cracking engine! How old colour etc? I have a 156.

Check out www.alfaowner.com if you have any problems or want any advice.

Yeah, MrH found that website, I think...
It's a silvery blue colour, it's petrol, it's the selespeed lusso model, it's 4 yrs old. It must be good, as I am having to do more driving to away games, although the lower mileage could be the real reason. :icon_roll

I think my brother-in-law had a 156, it was quite a nice car from what I remember. I know he was going to take the engine out of it to put into a Lancia, but then changed his mind.

That volvo was a lovely beast, but I've traded it in for a 407 diesel estate.:icon_redf
On test drives the alfa sportswagon was superb as was the chrysler 300 tourer, but I decided ( based on driving 25k+ a year for work and having two smallish kids) to get something practical. Performance aside I've got a shite load more for my money.
I'll really miss the volvo though, 150k on the clock and perfectly behaved.

Pug diesels are supposed to be really good. Although I have a mate who is a Peugeot mechanic and he always says that the wiring on the new cars is terrible and a real pain in the ass to fix when it goes wrong.
