Ive had the MG since July, which is 4 months.
According to my finance agreement, After 6 months of the term, the amount payable is £1198.
So I need £1200 to get rid of the finance and then the rest can be spent on a car. If i get 4 grand for it then that leaves me 2800 for the diesel, a wee bit more if i get pennies for xmas and if i can manage to save a bit

They never made a 1.3DTi, only CDTi, which are facelift Corsa C's, and still not in your price range.
tbh, don't get a car with older diesel engine, it probably won't be any more economical.
A late 1.5td Corsa B may be?
The 306 HDi is probably the best that you've mentioned.
Do you need to sell the MG for fuel economy, or the fact you can't afford the finance? I can't see the MG being that fuel inefficient?

The finance is only £68 a month which isnt a problem, it costs me £20 to get to aberdeen and back and im not prepared to spend £400 a month on fuel!!!

I do around 100 miles a day in the pug. Costs me around a tenner if i take it easy.
My 1.4 Corsa was around the same on fuel too.
Newer engines are beter on fuel. Can you not get another load at all?
