My sister-in-law has just passed her test and is looking for a cheap small runabout (she appears to like French cars (citroen saxo / renauly
c,lio))
anyone got anything suitable close to the reading area?
cheaper the better - she doesn't have a large budget (approx £500 for the car), and the first year's insurance is looking like £100/month
(Any hints on where she can get cheap insurance would be good, too - she's just turned 28 and passed her test last week)

Clio best avoided, Peugeot/Citroen much better bet but if you are prepared to buy at auction under a grand will find a nice low mileage cheap to insure MG-Rover 25 or 45 1.4 I picked an immaculate one at the end of September.
Hi Ray, unfortunately, her current budget is right at the bottom end of the market - c. £500....

Can you buy owt worth having for 500? I bought my first runabout in 1995 and it was a 10 year old maroon 1l fiesta. That cost me 800. 500 quid would have bought nothing more than ferous oxide on wheels!
We just picked this up...appears extremely clean and managed to get him down a bit further than the advertised price...
