Cheap car
Ok, took a company car which I have had for about 1 1/2 years.
I may not be keeping it much longer and am a little concerned that my ncd built up prior to the ccar will be gone leaving me back to square one when I get a new car.
My current thoughts are to buy a cheap car (think my ncb are still useable upto 2 years?) - less than 2k to use as a workhorse for trips to skip etc. We have another car in the family so my criteria for the sh1tter are:
1) less than 2k
2) reliable
3) not bothered on mpg - won't get used much <3k/annum
4) large load space
5) Ideally 4wd
So far have come up with:
Jeep Cherokee - but not much idea on what these are like
Suzuki Jimny - not a massive load space though
Where else could I put my 2 grand
I will basically bin the car when I get move from the company car
Cheers

This rare 4 cam car is an excellent example with a full and complete service history at the subaru main dealer., £865.00 spent in december on a full service !

Thanks Tony
Good shout - showing as £865 on the website which I assume is a misprice and actually relates to the amount on the service. Car tax gven the age would be pretty low I assume?
How did you come across this Tony....autotrader?
