Missie 1 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 My uncle has an old toyota estate, they can be picked up quite cheaply and tend not to be quite as 'used' as the escorts. Not quite sure what they are like on insurance though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Some form of toyota, they last forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 A vauxhall astra estate. If you go for the 1.3/1.4 the insurance won't be too heavy. You should get something tidy for £1000 Edited to say: I've just remembered, there's a cracking little Astravan for sale by the station in Tenby. It's old (G reg.) but it's immaculate. The old boy who had it, only used it to go back and forth to his plot. I think it's up for around £400. If you're interested, PM me, and I'll get you the number off of it!

Rabbithunter 456 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 a van is ideal, but only two seats (except in larger vans with 3) I got a tranny type van with back seats..... but thinking about getting an estate car, and then i can take the seats out of my van.... Ford focus estates can go quite cheap if you go to one of the British Car Auctions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest manda Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 vauxhall combo's are quite cheap have a look on ebay give's you an idea of what price things are going for, will your parents or a family member not put you on there insurance will lower it by loads. im 21, lass not passed my test and i did a quote for a cossie we had it only came out at £2000 but that wasn't bad as some came back as £8-10 grand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
