Looking for a car
For my 21st birthday last week (which I forgot to blog about) the plan is to get a car. Particularly useful since I’m now going into 4th year and for my first (proper) block I’ll need to be at Inverclyde frequently. I also kind of need it for work at the weekend. Managed to get completely soaked on Sunday in the supposed summer weather.
Unfortunately, finding a car isn’t as simple as it should be. Conditions are:
- Under £1k
- Ideally under 100k miles
- Ideally not much older than 10 years
- MOT with a good few months left
- Not French (no offence, they’re just rubbish cars)
- Within about 40 miles from here
I’ve got August to try and find one, seen a few that I quite the look of but aren’t great. Hopefully I’ll get one soon, will get some nice pics of it for here when I do.
You have to go for a German car then. Presumably with a low insurance group category (are you paying the insurance?).
Try a VW golf. They run for ever, and they are relatively cheap in terms of servicing/spare parts.
Yep I’m paying the insurance. VW polo would be nice (or even a lupo) but can I find a decent one? Found a few Nissan Micras (cringe) that I wouldn’t mind.
Quite a few of the (realtively) recent Puntos knocking aroun the £900 mark. Worth a punt(o)?

Humm, I’d rather not – not the greatest reliability wise and I think they look ugly.
Got one – Nissan Micra! Get it on Wednesday and I’ll put some pics up then.
Come on Scott! lets see photos of this beast!
