You dont have to have a bad year to buy a car under 1K.
I used to buy similar cars, and run them into the ground for when I was contracting away from home.
The mileage allowance paid for them, and could then afford to run a proper "weekend" motor.
I am going for a Mazda6 this year for under £1,200, It will pay for itself within 6 months.
Good, reliable, and if it breaks down, cheap enough to dump and buy another rather than repair.Comment
