For that money in England, I bought a Nissan Sentra. It was a 5 speed 1.5 litre, It had 60000 miles and only one owner. It was 6 years old. It had a sunroof. That was one of the best deals I have ever had. Too bad my then girlfriend totalled it. I even parked it for a year - went to it and it started first time.

Go for a Nissan Micra 1.2 GSX circa 1990. A great little car, grips like a mountain goat, tilts like a 2CV. I love the little car you can really throw it around. Also does great wheel spins will do a ton if pushed.

Nissan micra, a very boring little car but just abought bomb proof for reliability, if all my customers run these i would go bust.

For that money definetly a Micra will run forever try and get one with not to much rust on the chasis as this is the main problem with them.

Any of the above are reliable but all suffer with rust problems. Also all are EXTREMELY expensive to repair if/when things go wrong.Personally I'd go for a mark 3 astra. That money should get you a pretty decent 96/97 one.
