need a good first car

[MiNxYyY]

been saving for about 6weeks and have £900 saved up,looking to get a cheap but reliable car just to get me to work and back.
For the first car would you say 80000+ miles is to much when asking for £1000 cash on a 1.2 corsa?

ye corsa 1.2 excellent 1st car

Fiesta 1.25 is what is reccomended on here all the time.

I bought a classic mini cooper for when I can drive

 

[Andr3w]

Again the 1.25 fiesta is a good bet for a first car

Millage isn't everything. How old is the Corsa?

 

[Jonners]

Please dont.

No Corsa's it's not worth it. Get the Fiesta 1.25

 

[MiNxYyY]

Millage isn't everything. How old is the Corsa?

1999

The corsa is a horrid car, a colleague of mine spent £800 to get his S plat corsa thru a mot and it only has 53k on the clock

I don't wish to burst your bubble of joyous first car ownership, but assuming you are close to 17 years old, insurance could chew that £900 up and then some. Have you taken this into account?
