Buying a used car for my first car

10-09-2011 7:42pm #1

Hi guys,

I'm think about €1000 to €1500 for my first car, I'm 25, on a provisional and was thinking in the region of Corrolla, Bora or maybe Almera, but I'm interested to know what you guys might recommend?

Cheers.

Anything hatchback is handy to learn in. If you want a Corrola, Bora or Almera, it's your call.

If I was you, I'd get a Polo, I started out on one. Cheap to tax, insure and piece of piss to park and do your reverse around corner. But if you want to start out as you intend to go on, get something that you like.

Not too sure that a Bora in that price range wouldn't be a bundle of hassles ?

Get something Reliable
A nice Toyota or a Mazda or something that'll keep going and going!

Is it too cheap a range to get one of them without issues? Came across two so far and they seem OK. I'll be bringiing a mechanic to any car I go see.
