rover 100. Can be picked up for about £500. You cant loose 1k on it, becuse they are not worth that.

Do we really think big fast fuel heavy cars are going to hold value for the next 2 years? I know the prices have fallen quite a bit but have they stopped falling now?

I think used car prices are going to level off now. They cant keep dropping, theres still plenty demand to stop this & with new car sales falling it might even start to push used prices back up.

I vote for classic ford. Mk1/Mk2 Escort.

This car to be precise.

I've had my eye on it for a while, and i'd jump at the chance to buy it if it had the cash right now.
