Ok so helping my sister find a car for her to have as a run around at University as her accommodation from September will be a bit of a walk from the campus, plus a car will be handy for her to get to the shops etc.
She needs something that is cheap to run, in terms of insurance, tax and fuel economy.
Preferably something in VGC with FSH, but there's a budget of £1,000 for the car itself (excl tax/ins/MOT. etc). And nothing with ridiculously high mileage and ideally nothing more than 10 years old.
Can anyone suggest maybe places to look or what cars fit the bill and are good for young drivers? She used to have a Fiat Seicento but got rid of it a couple of years ago and hasn't had a car since.
So maybe something like a Renault Clio or a Nissan Micra, I had a look on ebay/Autotrader at various small cars but didn't find anything that jumped out and said "Wow". I'm not expecting to find a car in mint condition but just something thats cheap to run really with no hidden history or problems.
