I have roughly £2000-£2500 to pay for a car, insurance, MOT, tax, etc.
As for what I want, a car that's metallic black (proven influence over the residual values of a used car) foremost, after that I really don't mind aslong as it's small (not Mini small), comfortable, reliable and isn't a turbo (adds to insurance if i'm not mistaken). I don't want stuff like spoilers, neon lights á la boy racer. A Peughot 206 is my style, but i've been warned it's not very reliable. Something to get me from A to B more or less.
