NiNES. Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 autotrader always take a mechanic when viewing, always try and get the price down always do an hpi check before buying dont buy any cat ds or cs If the price is to good to be true then it is / theres a car thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Reds Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 See this car below, How would I know if its a cat d or cat c? also, looking at that...what are the negs & pos of that car for that price? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201103377755710/sort/pricedesc/usedcars/quantity-of-doors/3/colour/black/price-to/3000/make/ford/page/3/radius/20/postcode/n97ny?logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiNES. Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 it would usually say but if it doesnt the hpi check would take care of that / but if u wanna spend 5 you should look at getting an astra for 4 instead of a focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpent Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 £5000 is alot of money for you're first car, you should easily be able to find yourself a decent car for that price, what about a Seat Leon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Reds Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 How much would you say a Ford Focus or Astra (that never brakes down/dont need repairs) would cost? I just cant afford to keep paying hundreds for repairs and all of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Awesome Kong Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 If you want a Focus, buy a Focus. If you want a Astra, buy an Astra. Fords are better for handling, Vauxhall for speed tbh. / Take a mechanic to check the cars. Make sure the fluids are all full. Look at the bushes and the wheel bearings. / F*ck it I'm gonna get a loan by the middle of the year and cop a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
