Budget was 4K so if I spend 3K on the car and stick the rest in the bank to cover the gasket if and when it goes.

LMAO gotta say I do love that attitude. Dont budget on a reliable car, budget on the car you want and set some aside for when it shafts itself

LOL that sounds about right - I paid around 5k for the MR2, and so far have spent 5 times that on upgrades.

Well put down deposit today on a 55 plate Fiat Punto 1.2 active sport. Pretty nippy for a 1.2 and being the sport its got a really comfy interior. Looks great in black and with some body kit (but subtle and nice not sh*te!). Its also had the fiat logos replaced with the arbarth scorpion which I love!! Got 12 months warrenty out of them too,

Paid £2900 plus y Rover 414sli which for the year and 40 K mileage I reckon was a great deal!

Photos o follow when I pick her up on Tuesday!

Puntos are reasonably reliable, the next door neighbour has one.

Good deal, I hope it proves reliable for you. Wouldnt touch a Fiat myself.

Im actually looking at swapping my MX-5 for a Focus now in the next couple of weeks, Im seeing whats out and about given that this would be the best time for me to sell, not winter.
