No offense but how do you you know they're good? How do you know I'm not viewing them and finding them to be utter trash?

because i have one and they are japanese solid build quality and reliability. its near you go see it.
Cheap cars are a misnomer on AT these days. It’s free to advertise on Gumtree and FB Marketplace, why would any private seller pay to advertise on AT? Also loads of cars are fired to WBAC etc instead of wasting hours dealing with ‘wots yer bezt price Bruv?’ Endless texts and messages or scam attempts.
I'm referring to your comment about all the suggestions and my not having a car yet.

It's crazy the amount of folk who will spend days texting back and forth asking about a cheap car instead of just coming round to look at it. Hate selling cars these days.

Do you work for Alyn or something? HaGet that RARE Focus I linked to above can't go wrong

Cracking car, had one for years. Have a look where the windscreen meets the roof at the top for rust.
Condition MOT length/history and service history above all at this age.

Did you checkout the Hondas?

18k miles 13 Yr old car, 2 old biddy owners. That gearbox and clutch has been grinded more times than Katie Price

Used to be an old biddy down my street who had a Corsa C and drove everywhere in first gear, always heard her coming down the road.
And this is what they don't get. They see low miles a hard and fast rule for good condition. Never mind the fact I don't want to spend £4500 on a 1.2 fabia that will be worth 1500 the moment I leave.
Yeah and like everything in this price range, they are horrifically worse than the ad would suggest. All with part history, one with a shattered windscreen, calipers and discs so rusted you'd think them siezed.

And then people wonder why they blow £6 to £10k on a brand new lease car. Much less hassle but preferable than throwing £6k to £10k down on a heap.
This. It's catch 22. By buying into leases, we're enabling this rent and never own society, but it's so much less faff and stress loosing x amount over the years leasing a new car than it is footing the bills in depreciation and repairs keeping a car going through the years. I'm sure there's some magic middle ground but I'm not smart enough to work out the perfect way to run a nice car haha.

Didn't matter what research I did I always ended up with lemons.
Haven't owned a car for almost 2 years now but circumstances have now changed and I will need a car. Its impossible to find something I'm not gonna end up regretting either.
