It will be a green, 1.1, Peugeot 106.

Similar to this one below:

Not sure what age it is, however I shall be buying it off my friend, she has had it as her first car and has now upgraded and was going to sell it to her sister, but she no longer needs the car. So I enquired and she wants £500 for it, and I know she has looked after it well. I obviously need to chat to her, which I will do this Weekend when I see her.

Shall I go for it as my first car? With my budget I should be able to buy the car and insure and have some money left over to spend on the car to get a Sat Nav and other luxury things for the car. :)

Any thoughts? I'd ask here to see what people suggest.

Perfec first car, get it bought, get it into a trusty garage for a service and a checkover, and keep on top of it. Will be a relialbe and great first car.

Yeah, I think I will take it to a service and check over, also give it a good wash and I am set to go for a year or so to get myself started and get myself a NCB.
 
I am going to check the insurance with her over the Weekend and find out more about the car, shall let you all know. She had it as her first car and she said it was cheap. - She is sensible too, so I know that she has looked after the car too, so it is not like I am buying off a complete stranger. I am certain it is the car to go for. :)
 
When taking the car for a service, how much should I expect it to cost, also what do they normally check? Are there different types of servicing? - Sorry to ask these questions. I am new to the scene as they say. :)
 
Thank you for the suggestions guys, I don't trust doing it myself but I have some friends who I'm sure can help me do some of the servicing but I'd rather rely on a garage.

Updates:

12 Years old, T Reg, 1999. MOT is till June, and tax has run out, and she said she will sell me for £400 instead of £500, the car is in good nick too. :)
 
I like your way of thinking Rich. :)

580 GTX, or a car... Hmmmm tempting.

Has to be a car to get me started unfortunately, or should I say fortunately in this case. :)
 
Yeah, I shall obviously beat Gibbo and Spie in a race. :)

I hope to have it by next Weekend, sorting insurance, tax, all the bits and bobs for it this Weekend I hope. :)
 
I am definitely going for it. :)

So... What should I look into now, going to sort insurance and tax, need to buy bits and bobs for the car, shall get it serviced, and valet cheaply down the road to get it nice, clean and have the nice new feeling to it. :)
 
Ahhh, she asked her sister again, and her sister is now buying it. :(

I have to find another car now. I was hoping to have one by next Weekend!

I hate car searching, especially when I do not know really what to look for.
