Best 1.4 or under for a grand - DaveKent
If you had £1,000 and had to buy a 1.4L/1.3L or under, what would it be?

I need something like this so any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Dave

What sort of size car are you looking for? 3dr or 5dr? how many miles will it be doing etc?

Give us a few more clues and we can probably narrow things down a lot quicker

5 door would be best. Would not be doing alot of miles a year. Just need a good reliable motor.

Well there is the obvious Astra and Escort - a grand will pick a fairly decent example, as they're common parts aren't a problem and their both easy to work on.

Pug 306 and Citreon ZX both have 1.4 varients and can be picked up for less than £1000.

If your considering Japanese then a nissan sunny or almera will probably fit the bill.

a skoda felicia or a seat ibiza or two other possibilities.
