Opinions..
Looking at the older shape Clio Campus 1.2 75 Sport. I'm not after a fast car, just something cheap and cheerful. Will cost me around £1600 on the road after trading in my Corsa, tax and updating the insurance. Nice 07 plate delivery mileage car.

I was thinkig the depreciation value would be high on these with them being the old shape, same with the Peugeot 206 pug are selling off cheap.
However, you can still buy to order new. I went for a basic Campus model but a 1.5 diesel engine which come up as 11k on the system.

I'm not buying brand new, will lose way to much on it. After delivery miles really.
I think it's time to let the Corsa go. It had a new gear box fitted a couple of months of me having it and just had some work done on the engine. I'll admit to the engine being me pushing it to hard. Warranty is always nice to have in the background.
