Not much! You may find a Clio 172 for that price. But you'll have to search for one to be decent at that price!

Buy a cheapy corsa then as a run around and make it look smart but keep it slow and good on jucie to save for the other cars juice.

And? Tough time of year, and it isn't much over £2000 chum. There are loads of VTIs around for 2k - thats a good spec for the money.

chum

i would say is a fair bit over 2k, i can say ive never been to look at a car and knock off 800quid but fairplay if you can

but no i dont think the 106's/vts' are classed as reliable.

the starlet turbo's are awesome cars for the money, especially as they've dropped in prices recently

I wasn't specifically saying go and buy that example, it has probably been thrashed but it shows a different car that I would assume is reliable, better built and less chavvy than the above mentioned cars. I'd look at them if I was spending 2k on a hatch..
