Something like a 2001 Focus 1.6 Zetec? Unsure if you can get one of them for 4k, more like 5k.

What sort of size are you after?

[iain_herts]

something smaller than wot i have like a corse peogot size

i know you said you have a budget but ........... , have you thought about a new small car , some of the deals can be very good indeed , were you thinking about finance for it or buying it outright ??????????

well it was worth a thought

i reckon buying from a main dealer will not be the best idea , have a look at a reputable secondhand car place , recomendation is the thing to look for , have a look at this and you should see the reason why i said stay away from the main dealers

have you tried the auto trader used car search? its proven very useful for me

[edit] and dont forget to check the ABI website to see what group it is in, if you dont already know. teh car i want is a group 16, greedy bloody insurers

[iain_herts]

i have been looking in the auto trader but i want to go with a dealer/second hand dealer my mum got her astra from 1 about 4 years ago and they where good

[Dave Stones]

i dunno, if you go to the auto trader website you can set it to search for trade only...

Not quite what you are looking for... but similar

here

there is quite a selection here
but i didn't look to see if any are local to you, the first one linked is those.

Consider a Peugeot Deisel. Will save you in servicing costs and fuel and probably will mean cheaper insurance to the performance too.

so it looks as though £3500 for a 's' reg 106 was way over the top as i suspected
