£2.5k to spend on a car

[Nor]

For my sis. Was thinking of a ZR or even a TF. What do you reckon? Any suggestions?

get a tf 160 mate.

Peugeot 307 hdi, nice cars with great engines.

what ages is she? (for insurance related purposes before anyone asks!)

ZR ... or TF for a girlie.

TF 135 would have plenty power for her. Not sure if you'd get a decent one for £2,500 though. Needs to have the 11 spoke 16 alloys though. They are a must !

Had one ... so can recommend them.

friend has the mgf 118 bhp, and even that goes well. the mgf is a cheap car now aswell

Just be aware as £2.5k will get you an average ZR or F unless you get one through a club/forum of known heritage. Dealers will bump them up a fair bit from what I have seen lately.

Thanks for all the replies. My sister is 31. Ideally I'm after something that looks quite nice, but doesn't have to be quick.

TFs and Fs aren't the most reliable cars in the world so with 2500 I wouldn't get one. I had a TF btw!! Get a low milage zr mk1

As above a ZR 105 or 120 perhaps? My daughter is looking at ZR's and has her eye on an 03 plate with 30k on it for under £3k and that's a dealer.
