Hi Geoff,i bought my nearly 20 year old MK 1 FOCUS for £900.00 in 2018 at 145500 miles. Its now done 238500 miles. A work colleague seems to think it might have had a new engine in its life. However even so,how many miles had it done before the nearly 94.000 miles that ive put on it. Still very reliable. Regular oil changes every 6 months. Very tatty but still legal, passed its MOT with a couple of advisories. Good for another year.

When buying cars at this price it is best to keep things as simple as possible. Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar and Audi for example are not the most reliable brands and are a big gamble when they are a few years old and are best avoided unless you have a few grand as back up for repairs (and that completely defeats the object of buying a "cheap" car.) If your budget is £2k buy something that is less complicated and has a good reliability record (Toyota, Honda, Suzuki or Mazda.) In the meantime, you can then save up some more cash and buy something more luxurious later.

There is an TV ad here in New Zealand which shows people shopping for older cars. An expert then tells them what potentially could happen to them in an accident based on the cars crash safety record. The context of the ad is to make people aware of the safety and real world crash data available in helping decide what second hand cars to buy and what to steer clear of. NZ has a shocking road toll. Add safety into the mix of reliable,functional and cost.
@primafacie644224 күн бұрын
Maybe because NZ roads are mostly single lane (head on crashes common), have rubbish surfaces and cambers, and often some frightening consequences if you leave the road edge. On top of that too many drivers tailgate, ute drivers are aggressive, and too many drivers accelerate to beat red lights, women drive-text, and too many tradies and real estate agents like their recreational drugs. Beautiful country though ❤️

I used to inspect cars for a living for AA, RAC, Trading Standards and Courts and I have never approved a CAT C car fit to purchase. The main reason apart from bad repairs is the salvage yards move these cars with a fork lift and damage the structure in particular the box sections of chassis. While they don't really effect the car on day to day use but in crash they play a big role in how the car holds up because any damage to them greatly weakens there longitudinal strength.

Earlier in the video you mentioned the Peugeot coupe with double glazing. It’s worth a mention that although the drop glass is tough like the windscreen, on the very edge it’s extremely fragile to say the least. If you clip it with a wrist watch or your key ring at it gets even the tiniest of chips on the very edge the window is f@@ked. It will split. A replacement is usually very expensive.

Vauxhall Belmont SRI, Astra with a boot. Brilliant car. Manual headlight adjustment for driving on the continent. Used to drive from Gatwick to Sheffield for the job, long story. No motorway speed cameras back in the day and from full, had to fill the tank around Leciester to complete the journey. But apart from the Opal Manta GTE, best car ever.

mini convertible has best roof set up ever because you can open it just a foot to give you a little air con without having to take down the whole roof …

Since the EV'S came out I have shown a greater interest in older cars. I love this video. ❤

I like really old cars but anything with plastic bumpers and an ECU are just designed to end up in the scrap yard before there time

They used to have those basic white Dacias running around Gatwick about 5y ago. 1st and 2nd got ragged and that was about it due to the speed limits haha Flaccid.

Can we talk about the average age of the new private EV buyer (not business or lease people). Average age 58... why?

Good salary, dependant children moved out, mortgage paid off... Probably those sort of reasons.

The 407 coupe with the 2.7 V6 diesel is very nice but generally cheap because the VED is £735 on most. The 3.0 hdi coupe is brilliant but less than 50 came to the UK.

One reason, ULEZ! Any car under £5k is now going to cost me £10 a day to drive off my front drive.

I had an MG ZR 1.4 as my 2nd car. Loved it. Wished I could have it back because I part exchanged it for a… brand new Mini Cooper S.
