Sub £1000 easily.

Rust.

Don't get a 1.2 8v as they're deathly slow, although insurance may now be an issue considering your Pug.

Just look out for the usual signs of any car etc.

a grand will get a a very good example if there is such a thing, you could get a very nice sxi with a grand although thats a 16v

By sub £1000 I meant don't pay anything more. You can get Corsa B's from about £100 to £2000.

£3-400 will get you a half tidy runabout with about 90,000+ miles

£6-800 will get you a clean example with about 60-70,000 miles and probably from a garage.

Better than a Pug 106 or Saxo imho.

Just keep the engine as low as possible. 1.2 8v, 12v or 1.2 16v.
