My wifes car finally broke at the weekend and we are looking at a cheap replacement.

She wants a small car and £2500 max she will only use it for a max of 5K a year and it will only be town driving.

we have seen a X reg Ford KA with 31K for £2500. It looks very good inside and out. Going for a test drive this afternoon.

Anyone got or had one of these and what do you think re value etc.

wow was not expecting as many negative comments.

Will treat the test drive with care then.

One think not going in my favour in this decision is the comment that the KA looks "cute". I will have to work on that.

I just keep thinking what else you could get for 2500 or even 1800 quid.
Trouble with getting cars for woman though or anyone else for that matter is you have to get want they want.
The classic line is " I don't want it "
Why ?
" Its Green i don't want a green car "

Tell me about it.

just got back from a test drive.

Liked it a lot, nice easy car to drive should suit her down to the ground.

Got it for £2200 with service, mot and 6 months tax and 1 years warranty (not that thats worth anything).

Picking it up on Friday.

I had loked at a few and had a look at the various prices etc. Also looked at alternatives eg clio

The added bonus it the garage I got it from is just round the corner so there is no problems re faults etc and I have bought 2 cars from him in the past and my sister has also bought a car from him so I think I am getting a good deal although with cars you can never tell.

She seems pleased with it as well. Lots or brownie points etc.
