Several years back I had a V Reg Mondeo LX. It was base spec mondeo and was five years old when I got rid of it. Despite it not having Alloys and sideskirts etc, it was a really nice well equipped car and I really enjoyed owning it. I ended up getting rid of it as my girlfriend wanted something smaller (to drive to work in), so we went for an Astra.
She has since got her own little car (a corsa 1.0) I've never been keen on the Astra, and would like to get rid of it. I don't have a massive budget as I am supporting my girlfriend through uni, paying her travel costs, our mortgage and other bills.
It would appear (from Autotrader), that you can get a 10 year old, tidy ST24 for under the £1500 mark. I have wanted one for years, however insufficient NCB and the fact I used to have a long commute to work precluded me from owning one.
Is it worth it as a car to own for the next 2 years and do I need to look out for anything?
