Cheap Diesel 400/45/ZS
Having got rid of the Audi yesterday, I am now in the market for a new car.
Does anyone have a cheap 400/45/ZS for sale? Mileage and condition not overly important, as long as it is road legal and has some MOT and Tax on it (Needs to be reliable and get me to and from work)
Incase you didn't know the Audi was rubbish and kept breaking down, culminating in refusing to start even with easy start recently...

(I live on the south coast BTW)
To be fair, the black one at £395 + £300 delivery + £145 Tax + whatever for the MOT, makes that car cost over £840 in the state it is in, with no guarantee its mechanically sound and won't cost stupid amounts for the MOT...
The Green one is £695 + £300 delivery + £145 Tax = £1140 Which is more tempting, but still more than I was hoping to pay!

Wow some mileage on those two.
Have heard that the pumps can go on high miles and are costly to replace.
I'm on a derv f/b dont know if its worth asking on there.

Hopefully I can find something a bit closer, am watching these at the moment:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1114068798...84.m1423.l2649
No idea how I would get to either of them to be honest  - Thanks for the offer Peter, but its a long way to collect me and then go get the car - Will let you know once I have decided what to get though!

Anyone got any experience of the Proton GEN-2 1.3 GLS 5dr?
I've been offered an 05 plate for under £800... looks in great condition but not sure on the 1.3 petrol engine and can't find any reviews on it anywhere!
Other than that the seller of the 420 linked above has contacted me to say its been serviced every 6k miles, new brakes all round every 1800 miles irrespective of the wear, only downside I can see is the rust on the rear arches... Not too worried about the power, and motorway driving appears to have similar book figure MPG...

But I am not a CoPart member (and you have to pay to be one?) and have no idea on how to get a cat C back on the road?? Or what it means to own a Cat C car from insurance view etc?
