chocolate_o_brian 0 Posted February 22, 2010 I've decided to sell the 205 as I need a nice cheap to run car whilst my apprenticeship wages are, well crap Stuck her in the for sale section and wondering what to replace her with? Hopefully only a temporary thing until my money goes up. So looking at cheap diesels or smal petrol engines. Anyone a suggestion for cheap, reliable etc?

welshpug 1,623 Posted February 22, 2010 diesel 306, cheap insurance and reasonably cheap parts, older ones are cheap to buy too, not "slow" 1.5 D 106/saxo, cheap parts, less goes wrong than on the 306, slow but awesome on juice, fairly comparative to the 306 on insurance costs (similar insurance grouping) Moped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MerlinGTI 3 Posted February 22, 2010 If yours is a good 205 stick witth that, theres a lot of Sh*t-box 205's out there. That is of course if you plan on returning to the fold in the future, as I can see you regretting the sale. 205 parts are cheap as chips, drive sensibly (pah!) and they arnt horrendously uneconomical. Its just insurance that may divert your funds in a matter you find displeasing. Cheap old cars break... a lot! better the devil you know Oh and I ran my 205 as a poorly paid apprentice, so ner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chocolate_o_brian 0 Posted February 22, 2010 Well it seems Dr Sarty has come to form another resuce mission. A possible deal on the cards for my car, a cheap PX runaround and some ££. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue_haddock 2 Posted February 22, 2010 How about a 205 STDT - all the looks of a GTI but with derv economy. And unlike a 1.5D 106 or 1.9D 306 they dont actually go that badly either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
