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.

2 litre HDI Berlingo with the roof with the small plates of glass, and the air con fan in the roof for the 3 rear passenger's which were our 3 kids. Yorkshire to Lake Garda with a trailer and the kids 3 bikes sat on roof bars on top of the trailer. Went through Luxembourg, filled the Berlingo and 4 jerry cans with diesel and did the same on the way back. Never missed a beat that engine, and the rear under floor storage held lots of cigars for the father in law 😉 The roof was called the multispace roof 😊

Terrible cheap (not price) parts that break or simply don't even work out the box. Over complex electrics that contribute nothing to the driving experience. They just malfunction and cause huge expense for no gain at all. The golden age of car 1995 - 2010.

I have a Citroen Berlingo XTS 2009 bought for in 2016 for £3,000 with just 63k on the clock - it's cost me about £2,000 to get a few things done, but it's been perfect and reliable as my work vehicle as a handyman.

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.

Its a very common issue with these cars and not easy to see unless you take the floor off from under the engine to have a proper look. If i have the chance i would rather get a good 156 as they really are fun - but not easy to find anymore

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.

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 ❤️

Positively flaccid here, Geoff. Also, I've got an E46 that's made that buzzing behind the dash when the car is turned off ever since I bought it almost 10 years and over 100K miles later with no issues seen as a result of the buzz.

I’ve ended up somehow with six cars but my favourite is my £750 E36 BMW that I bought 10 years back. In that time it’s cost me nothing to run apart from a yearly service that costs me less than £40 and tyres. I also have a lovely rust free mk3.5 Golf 2.0 that cost me £250 and had that one 5 years and it’s bulletproof and got it cheap because of needing a £12 crank sensor. The 90’s is where it’s at, if you want reliability.

Bravo GBC, a winning format with EV Carnage, that one kept me chuckling. On a downside, the best looking and most suitable poseurs’ cat, the Alfa Brera is also the worst car there, it was slow as hell, handled like a wheelbarrow of spuds, rode like a Model T and cost a fortune to maintain. I’d still have one though because most people don’t know that.

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. It’s almost like 2 sheets of greenhouse glass laminated.

I wish I could drag myself out of the cycle of replacing new cars every 3-5 years and just buy something old. The biggest attraction to me is something that already has a few scuffs and scrapes so I don’t care adding any more.

Completely flaccid! Which I think is a good thing because I'm watching two blokes talking about cheap cars on KZbin lol.😅 Damn, there are some tempting ones in that list. 😳 Although my 07 fiesta st is lovely, nice power for overtaking, loves a roundabout and I bought her for 2750 6 years ago! Slightly fragile gearbox though to be honest. 😊
