5k to spend, what to buy?!

Omega28

Hi

I have a budget of 5k, no more! and I'm looking for a car.

I'm looking for something with a bit of poke and that's reliable. I currently own a 170bhp VW Golf TDI Sport and I'm going to down grade.

I'm 24, so I'm not looking for a big old grandad mobile t

I'd like to hear your suggestions

thanks

Leon FR150? wouldn't be too far off the pace of your current car and they look very well.

Yes, you should be able to get a decent DC2 for that money but check how much insurance will cost.

Wow, now that's like an advert for how to advertise a car.

No close up of the boot though. What were they thinking!!

Only the MkII Octavia vRS had a diesel and petrol option. You will not buy a MkII Octavia vRS petrol or diesel for €5k though.
