Dave F Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi guys. Im looking to buy a second car to use for work for between £500 and £1000. I only work about 12 miles from my house and dont travel on the motorway. The options so far are Fiat cinquecento, Metro, or a fiesta. Basically I want the cheapest insurance and petrol costs, any other ideas of a second car welcomed. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i use a 2.0l 8v calibra and it seems to run on thin air. Everytime i go to put petrol in it, it's full. £200 a year insurance too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 personally i would buy a vw polo (1996 onwards model) reliable as hell and you should have no problems selling it on a year later or so.... go for a 1.4 cl model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 A diesel Corsa, NA. 50+ mpg no matter how you drive it, 60+if you venture onto a motorway. Also they "alledgedly" run on cooking oil Should be able to pick an acceptable one up within your budget. Only real thing that goes wrong with them are altinators.

RobSheffield Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Another one for the Polo vote Had a 1.9 diesel, and it was great. On the lookout for another now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
