zabe_1 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If you had a used car to buy on a budget of 2.5k it has to be older than 10 years ( as my classic car insurance will only take cars thats older than 10years), what would you go for. It seems im just 1k or so out the supra league right now, so looking for something else in the meantime. What's out there that you guys would recommend, that would be reliable and a good runner, but still look the part. So far, what are the thoughts on: fiat coupe fto celica civic coupe prelude bmw 3 series old old shape not sure what else, need some ideas. I definitely need another car by end of December as my job requires me to ahve one by then, i'll get 40p a mile, so even though fuel economy would be good, even if its a little bad but still looks the part, id still be tempted. throw me some ideas of cars ive not thought of..thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 If you enjoy driving it has to be rwd For that sort of money either a cheap 200sx or 6 cylinder BMW e30/e36. All decent motors and drive "properly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Prelude is superb car - had 2.3 4WS K reg - bought it for 800 pounds (it was big bargain) - you can get one in nice condition for 1600 - 2000 pounds :)they are fast and pretty comfortable - I've done 1000 miles trip in 16 hours and felt good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zabe_1 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 lol i would have so bought that but the handling thing worried me a little, dont know loads about cars and well didnt want to take a risk.. what excactly is the difference betwee the e30/36 or is it just different engines, i know exactly what it looks like, but never been in one, what they like. i know there RWD which is always good...how about mpg, it wont be as low as a soop anyway lol so thats ok i guess... prelude yea they are nice cars, 800 pound defintiely is a bit of a bargain, another car to have a look at...im just so indecisive honestly, i dont htink ill ever come to a decision on what ill get until i get it lol 200sx is tempting... mr2 turbo, now thats a car ia ctually know hardly anything about...what they like, what engine sizze is it, what power is it, is there more than one variation...eg non turbo as well.. seems like ive been trawling autotradr and classified every night for the last few weeks lol, just got soaked in the rain today on the way back from the underground public transport lol, need a car lol. sorry about my spelling and lack of coherent english...i'm just a lazy sod who types as he thinks lol thanks for all the tips guys, keep them coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
