Either had to or chosen to?

I'm thinking of putting the Clio up for sale when I get paid, then getting a car for £1000-£1500. Was thinking of a post 97 Corsa Sport or a GSI.

I don't want to have to part with the Clio, but it would be better than debt I reckon.

Probably best off withwhat you have got, you are selling something but not actually saving anything in the long run.
