Car for the sister

TestTransmission

Right guys,baby sis is looking for a new car.
She has 10,000 to spend.
She's looking for a petrol hatchback (max 1.6)
She's not fussy on colour,but wants some extras and looks matter.
Shes 22 and in that whole "look at me phase"

Ive been thinking golf,focus,corolla etc etc
Any recommendations from yourselves?
PS:She wont buy an Alfa, she despises how they look!!! :mad:

nice car and wont go wrong. Bit boring and predictable but thats personal opinion. Is that price including VRT? Its an import so make sure you do a UK HPI check if your buying anything like that

something like this would fit the bill, I'd say.

or this Pug 206cc

or maybe this 07 Swift

Mini?

My choice would be the swift.

It's been nct'd, so I'd assume it's on Irish plates!

plates don't look too Irish to me!
I'd say it hasn't been VRT'd yet, no discs in the window either.

They're Clare plates!:P

I dunno - could be an old pic? He has the nct down as valid til sept, 2010.

it's a 54 reg, which would mean it was registered after September 2004, and before March 05, in this case it's before January 2005, as the car is registered as 2004.
therefore the NCT would be due after September 2008, and would be out some time between September and December 2010 , depending on when the car was registered

You mean 2008?! I get you though, it's not up for an nct yet!

That's some damn fine detective work there!
