• Peugeot 206 - Pay to repair my car, or invest in a new one? 23 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  So I have a 1.4L peugeot 206 on 75,000k miles from 2005 that failed an MOT. I can't decide if I should get it fixed or invest in a new (very old) car. Here is a list on my car's MOT failures - https://pastebin.com/i3xs64sT  I've been considering a 2005 1.4l C3 Desire (100,000 miles) for about £600 or various Yaris's from 2001-2003 (generally 100,000 - 120K miles). -- from £400-£900 My main priorities are overall cost, including insurance because i'm a new, 27 year old driver,  reliability, safety and a relatively powerful engine that's fun and comfortable to drive.
