Chip it down £500 for good measure

Ricky might offer a comment on its provenance

Its sold Iain. Not to me.

[Rag_It]

Boo...... How do you know it is sold?

Iain, I thought the CL was worth a balloon on a stick?!

[H8OAG]

You have mail

It was up for sale on TrackScotland Dave for £4250. Advert has been updated as sold.

Contract hire something dull
Spend the 5k on a holiday, you won't get many of those after starting a new company.

I am not CH'ing a 1.2 Corsa Paul, I need something vaguely exciting!

Mr B sent a few interesting ones, but I guess that Megane was probably a good mix of fun and sensible.

[Gooldie]

Subaru would be my choice.

Stu

That would certainly be the sensible choice

Broken record from me, ours is on 92k and has only needed wipers, tyres and pads

Go turbo mate, P1s image is improving as its a future classic and neds can't afford to run them anymore. Look to Sierra saphire cosworth values over the last ten years as an indicator

The 130i well outwith budget unless acquired through auction. I'd probably go for one though...

Ooh, seems I got mine cheap I expected them to be cheaper.

Yours smells of sick, though

I've got an ad in classifieds for a nice s type

Derv golf, SEOT!

Hot hatches spring to mind - Clio 172/182 with plenty of cash left over. Ibiza FR or golf gti. Decent breadvan Civic Type-R available for less?

Suppose you want something that's not going to cost a fortune to keep going as well and be reasonably practical. Saabs would offer plent yof car for the money, seem to have crashed in price now. Subaru legacy or forester seems good shout as well. Outside bet might be looking at the mazda MPS 3 or 6, cheap, not much to look at but high spec and sleeper style - might be rubbish to drive and cost a fair bit to to run.

RX8 if you're brave (could get a refurbished engine one though) and really not doing a lot of mileage.

£5k is a posh shed
