Ford KA3 price check...

Hi,

Does anybody think that this is worth £1800.

My girlfriend is looking for a first car. Needs to be and cheap to buy and run as possible, but fairly reliable. She would prefer something small to start with.

I have £2000 lying about. Does the above look OK, or does anyone have any better reccomendations in the leicester area?

I have no interest in small under powered cars, so i'm struggling to figure out what is considered good value in this market?

Cheers.

£1800 for a small tin can made in 1998, with a cruddy engine from 1992?

No thanks.

It's 10 years old and nearly 2 grand, of course its not worth it. You can buy brand new ones for £4995!

OK that idea has been written off.

Any other suggestions welcome!

What about a 206 / 306 at this price? Should do the job??

306 over 206 IMO. The 206 is a horrid car.

Nah, it's for a girl. Girls arn't allowed to drive easy to service value-for-money barges, and have to buy artificially expensive "small" cars.

Its the rules.

This is true.

KA's make a lot of sense - one of the best examples of low cost motoring around. Still consider one, just pay less
