UK ONLY: Cars under £1000

[Hyde]

On the insurance just wait till it pass mot and you buy it and just buy gap insurance for a few days over the net

basically I might have to travel Manchester on 24th of June anyway.. I am not sure yet but there is a strong possibility for that. So if that happens, what I plan to do is, if the offer is accepted i will ask him to do MOT tomorrow and I will visit on 24th of June. I have already got the Insurance quotation for this car and it's somewhat acceptable to me. So what I hope to do is, If I like the car and willing to pay, I will immediately purchase insurance soon after making a payment to him and then head to Bangor (North West Wales) for which I plan to travel on 24th of june and then way back home.

Not sure if I am going there on 24th but still that's what I can do if everything goes smoothly.

I am looking for a car on behalf of somebody whose budget is just under £1000. Can you guys in UK recommend any car?

His basic need is that the car must be 4/5 doors and the engine size preferably below 1.3cc although bigger engine sized car can be accommodated if the offer is too good to be ignored.

Any advice please? where can I find it? tried Ebay/Autotrader already but in vain. He is looking forward to purchase as soon as possible (possibly within the next 2-3 days).

london, UK cars & trucks classifieds - craigslist
you can try different cities on this as well, I chose London as default, this is what we use in the US to purchase used cars, phones, etc. great site works for me all the time

He said it's some sort of shadow...

But anyways --- I am have finalised the deal for this car

2006 PROTON GEN-2 LOW MILES 24 HOUR LISTING | eBay

If everything goes smoothly this is what we hope to purchase.

I've had sub 1K cars before. Plenty available but keep in mind that because of their age fixing things for their MOT usually costs quiet a bit.

Are you there?

Well they agreed to sell it for £900 but then the other offer I had also sent to somebody else was also accepted.

Chevrolet Lacetti SX 1.6 16V 5Door Hatchback | eBay

They agreed to sell it for £800 and I had offered £750 but it was acceptable to me... and in the meanwhile one of my uncle offered a car "Toyota Yaris", 2002 model... and the guy for whom I was purchasing said he liked the car. So he is now using Toyota Yaris... Already insured and driving

Even myself is using Toyota Yaris these days even though I don't like it - Gonnai switchover to Toyota Prius soon (and I usually prefer Ford and Peugeot for budget cars).

The Yaris is a good choice. It is cheap to insure and run in the UK.

That is why I am using it... budget car that is

But at times I have the feeling of a truck

Prefer Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra or Peugeot 308 or similar car anytime... Even Vauxhall Corsa isn't bad...

Truck? I would describe the Yaris as a tin can.

Yeah tin can is the better definition

But the seating position is quite high with a large windscreen... My cousin loves it, I don't like that.
