I need a car-smartish!

[TrickyOne]

On the off chance..My Fiesta failed it' MOT. I've decided to scrap it a get a newer car. I've got £1200 to spend and am after a Vectra/Leguna. The challenge is that I teach so can't get out to look at cars 'til after, say 5pm. The bigun is that I must have a car by Friday as me bros is getting married and I need it for the logistics. So my quest for help is.. can anyone reccomend a car seller that is trusted, has stock that may help me in my quest for a motor. Thanks all in antiscipation.

Hire one for a week or weekend. You won't have to rush around and buy the first thing you see.

Thanks buddy, I'm just insitu of spending this little bit of cash but can't really afford to hire as it's dead cash...would love to tho'!

Look for a car, find one, have it checked out, buy it and complete all the formalities in 3 days whilst you are teaching full time - I will be amazed if you are able to pull it off. I too was going to suggest hiring for your brother's nuptials - thoroughly recommend enterprise for price and service. Or do you have a friend who could lend you a car for the wedding? Best of luck!

How much was it going cost to repair it?

Repairing, i feel is the way to go most of the time as the older motor can be repaired at relative low cost against the modern car, cos a £1200 motor could end up costing you as much if not more because you won't know the history of the car.

Mind you i do like hoarding!
