1st car for my 17 year old brother

[Gee]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone on here has a small, economical car for sale? Smallest litre possible, like 1 litre to help bring insurance costs down.

Something like Fiesta, Corsa, Pug etc.

We are based in West Yorkshire.

Obviously we are already looking, but at least we can probabaly trust the majority on here.

Thanks.

We are up for anything really mate.

Not much around at the garages here, only got a budget of about £2,000 thou. I should of mentioned.

Lots going privately, but as you know with private sales there are no come backs.

Meant to say, as long as you give it a good inspection...

And that Starlet is a CAT C

They are more to insure than non-turbo starlets strangely...

so yeah...get a nice non-turbo SR or something

Id go for a bone stock private sale yaris off some granny. Id steer clear of any small hatches that are usually bought and tarted up as these may have been driven hard.

There aint much that will go wrong with a yaris or similar and if it does what you will have saved by buying privately will cover the expense of fixing it

[Gee]

GTdan,

About £2,000 mate.

II'd get a cheap FIesta or a nice tidy little 1.3 n/a. Trouble free running they are.

Id be careful with the N/A's ... I know in Ireland they are often driven like they are Glanza's by young lads and punished hard.

Go N/A if you can find a stock one that a granny drove
