10 BEST CHEAP Cars For UNDER £1K!

[@emile761]

I didn't think you even find cars this cheap

[@CarsWithJB]

It’s actually very tough 😅

[@grzybobranie7765]

with 130k miles and/or really bad MOT. I would highly advise anyone to save at least 2k to get a decent car.

[@as7zen405]

​@grzybobranie7765 would that in include insurance, tax etc or 2k.just for the car

[@grzybobranie7765]

@@as7zen405 Pretty much impossible to get that done if you're a new driver. I got a little 1.4 corsa as my first car at the age of 21 and had to spend 5k. 2300 for a car and 2600 for insurance. Car only, unless you really won't be driving a lot. Could get something really cheap under 1k and fit under 3k, but that also depends where you live. I live in a city centre so my insurance is in fact slightly more expensive also I recently moved houses

[@DSG-farts-connoisseur]

man I keep admiring UK for just how cheap the cars are in there, it's pure insanity golf mk4 GTI for 1000 pounds, that's just unreal money anywhere else in europe

[@chrisyoung145]

It is a GTI in name only 2.0 with 115bhp was so slow, even when it first came out - there was the one shown here and another with the 1.8 Turbo that made 150bhp, that was the "Real" GTI then the 25th anniversary special he mentioned which has 180 bhp

[@easydrive3662]

One that definitely needs to be on the list is the mk1 ford focus, even today it looks great, drives just as well as any new car and very reliable. You can pick them up for well under a grand! What is clear to see is that many of these older cars in the list have lovely design to them still, in my opinion id say some look far better than todays new cars

[@Swedishbargeman]

JB I hope you reply to this comment, my under £1000 car wins this hands down I bought a 2006 Saab 95 Aero HOT Wagon 2.3 260bhp 258ftlb torque 0.60 6.9 seconds Heated leather seats front and back 5 large seats Huge boot space Electric adjustable drivers seat Full main dealer service history Original bill of sale 161k on the clock I paid just £700

[@jasondullea6120]

Nice one JB. A 3 series Touring for a grand. Sweet 😊

[@avalanche816]

A fantastic car for those with an appetite for MOT denying rust. Avoid, even for a hundred quid!

[@BALHAM69]

A treat for the viewers 😮 Thank you bro Hope everything is good man Nice video 😊

[@ClementSamsNcube]

Hey is this one still available

[@Stealt707]

I'm glad you recognise that some are not ULEZ compliant. This is were most car presenters come unstuck! But good on you for making up for this. Cheers

[@markbeards4441]

Excellent J.B. I knew you could do it. 👍👌

[@ApothecaryTerry]

You *can* buy cars for £1k, but I'm 100% confident that most people shouldn't 😄 In 2005 it took me 4 test drives to find a car at my £1500 budget without a blown head gasket, so I ended up buying a Fiat which promptly disintegrated (except the head gasket). 18 years later, you've got to be able to work on cars yourself to be buying these, surely? Having said all that, that Civic Type-S GT may be less powerful and worse to drive than the prior Type-S (which had 158hp, so 20hp more...WTF Honda), but the proportions are just right, it still looks futuristic and it'll probably not break, much! Plus the interior is in my top 10 ever, even if the materials are cheap. Genuinely serious fun too, I have a massive soft spot for that car, especially in that weird yet somehow really nice bronze colour they did. It actually bumps the MX-5 into 2nd spot on this list for me, sorry...

[@JC-hu1wd]

Thanks. I own a Jazz but would like a Civic one day but don't know much about them. So the S Gt with petrol 1.8 then? What years please?

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@JC-hu1wd I think it's 2005-2012. In this case I can't really tell you much about the car beyond what's in the video though (6:47) other than that I've driven 2 and enjoyed them!

[@darrenmcgrogan8843]

i would have added the Honda Jazz. for first cars they are small but surprisingly extremely spacious inside, reliable engine & amazing on fuel economy. i have a 19 year old Jazz & a full tank lasts over a week even with motorway driving to & from work 6 days a week, still averaging 50+ mpg which is rather good a 2004. let downs to a Honda Jazz is rust same as any Japanese car. keep an eye on the rust underneath, wheel arches & sills. engine wise as long as you maintain servicing regularly then like most Honda engines, they’ll keep going. if you have a vtec engine, pay most attention to the engine oil

[@steelcity791]

And they have a chain and not a timing belt ,.ulez.compliant., Fab little. cars

[@JC-hu1wd]

I agree I have a 2007 Jazz Sport with 116k. Still drives superb smooth it's the 1339 cc 1.4 iDsi. Very solid underneath got it on the lift to check it. Had it undersealed and cat guard fitted. Only bug bear been water leaks in boot and rear foot wells. Sorted now. Fuel economy 45 to 60 mpg depends on route traffic length of journey although I only put Super unleaded in as runs better with this.

[@buntrockstudios]

I bought my e46 320d touring for 1995 and it was bob on just be careful with corrosion in general but especially the brake pipes and if they need replacing it’s 💰💰💰

[@buntrockstudios]

Don’t do it there’s usually a reason its under a 1k 😅😅

[@thadynakat]

that civic looks stunning.

[@simonworkman6474]

Great video and loving the England rugby top

[@allcapsbeats]

would be good if you include the years

[@xXJIJIPONGXx]

I'd take the 2.2 civic over the 1.8 any day. Yes, they can eat clutches, but they're faster, more economical, cheaper to tax, and, if so inclined, can be mapped for some crazy power

[@discostu2246]

Saab 93 1.8t ❤

[@skylark-sd9ic]

Check the front chassis rails on the NB MX5, they rust badly and often need sorting.

[@Backpfeifengesicht45]

E46 and MX5 are water soluble and for 1k, both will be 94% rust.

[@wolfhalupka8992]

sure one can find cars for a few hundred quid... but would one want to buy one of those? how likely is it to find a "good or better" example, with acceptable mileage, in full working order, good condition, no ugly rust, and then even fine leather seats and so on? or, just maybe, some worn out wreck needing lots of work to make it reliable or even safe to use? I wonder is the blue E46, standing in a dealer showroom between an E-Type and a Capri Mk II (how cheap are those?) really for sale for under 1 grand? or is this a nice example, costing a good deal more?

[@pear7869]

YAS the cheaper the better! nuggets pls!

[@wenzl4]

i wish theese prices were global and not UK only, for example in my country which is even much poorer, all of those are more expensive. like miata doesnt go under 4k and all of those mentioned would be pure rustbuckets for theese prices here

[@TheStobb50]

I would be very careful with the vw 3 cylinder engines in particular the Polo they were very unrefined and not very long-lasting

[@tobywynn9616]

Mini Cooper r50 should have been here, 8.6 0-60 and great handling

[@troxigg]

The CDti honda is probably better than the Type R And the 320d at 1k is a leaky, rusty heap at best haha

[@maksthebeast]

I bought a 2008 Saab 9-3 1.9TiD 150hp under 100k mileage. I'd recommend Saabs within a low price range

[@Swedishbargeman]

I bought a 95 2.3 Aero HOT Wagon petrol for £700

[@maksthebeast]

@@Swedishbargeman that's so cheap. Did you buy it from someone that knows nothing about cars 😂

[@Swedishbargeman]

I bought it from a guy who wanted a diesel, I had a 1.9 TDI Audi A3 that I had been quoted £500 trade in value as it was quite tatty, I offered it to the guy with £200 cash ontop and he accepted

[@BALHAM69]

So which car would pick recommend? The first two cars in this car List?😊

[@ApothecaryTerry]

You're asking a guy who owns a Polo and an MX-5, plus used to own a Fabia, which of the cars he'd pick...on a list with those 3 cars on 😁 Before anyone else comes along, I'm going to go ahead and say that, for me, the Civic Type S is a clear winner here...even having driven JB's actual MX-5 (don't think I'll get a go in the 4C after saying this 🤣).

[@BALHAM69]

@@ApothecaryTerry my friend terry, i know this 😂 It did seem he would recommend the first two cars than any others

[@raff_spriggles_tfn5910]

If you have a commute worth owning a diesel, then the Jag or BMW. For a solid daily the Swift. For fun the Mazda or Street Ka.

[@BenHall289]

I had a streetka a few years ago. Fun little car with the roof down. Had no issues with rust but the thing went through discs and pads like no tomorrow plus I kept having to get the tracking done so it ate tyres too. I do miss it sometimes. Had real character and felt quicker than it was.

[@miroslavsynek6046]

Regarding Jaguar X-type, the proportion of parts shared with the Ford Mondeo was not anywhere near 90%, the real figure is closer to 10%.

[@andrewmarriott4033]

We have the mk5 astra in 3 door form had it 7 years buts it’s a 1.4 super reliable and ulez compliant paid 1800 for it must be worth a grand now 😂😂😂 but I’d take the bmw out that list 👍

[@jivalroopnarian]

I thought the mk4 gti had a 1.8t or VR6

[@dexty3956]

The mk4 came with a inline 4 option witch came in 1.4 1.6 1.8T 2.0 Then for vr engines you could get a vr5 or a vr6

[@jivalroopnarian]

@@dexty3956 MK4 GTI

[@Afraz_9n3]

Mk4 golf gtis came with a 1.8t yes but also a 2.0 and those are cheaper. The vr6s are a separate model of v6 4motion

[@outrunninginflation4081]

Good list but for ultra frugality, are any of these £30 car tax?

[@itchyscratch3829]

No.
