Argh.

I have £1,000 to spend on a car (I don't actually have it yet... I just want something to aim for), and I'm not sure what I actually want.

My first thoguth were for a very 'arab-style' old-skool Merc, one of which I can find for £1,000, quite easily.

Dad says no. And he has a point, a Merc will cost a lot to run, especially one from late 80s with mechanic costs and stuff like that. I've decided against it.

I don't want one of those 'boy-racer' cars, I'm not into that whole thing. I want a car that'll be smart, nice, spacious (as spacious as it'll get for £1,000) and cheap to run....


Any suggestions?

There's loads of little hatchbacks you can go for, above are a few from the top of my head that I can think of.

Just don't go for a girl's car, I.e. anything bubble shaped (Ford Ka...)

I saw a broken down Ka on the motorway today.

It had a female driver.
