Car recommendations please

Basically I've got a new family, so there's an 02 Opel Corsa with some damage to the bodywork (we had repairs valued about 3 grand) (no idea on mileage), and a earlier model 00 Nissan Almera with 110,000 on the clock. We have a new baby, and we both need cars for work/taking wee tot to get needles stuck in her.

I'd like to replace both cars and wonder if anyone could recommend a pair of cars that might fit the bill. I go around 40 miles a day, girlfriend less so.

We've got about 5 grand budgeted, plus whatever tradein might get us.

Cheers!

If there is nothing wrong with the Almera I'd keep it to be honest, it's worth f all against a car with a screen price of a few grand.

If the 02 Corsa has €3k worth of damage then it is a write off and only worth scrap value as you can buy a clean 02 Corsa for alot less than €3k.

If you are parting with the Almera then I would sell it privately. Those Almeras are very reliable and are easy to sell. You will get alot more for it than what you will get as a trade in. You can also negotitate more off the asking price of the new car if you have no old cars to trade.

Thanks guys, might stick with the Almera so.
