Most reliable cars under £3,000

Honda Jazz is no.1 most reliable car.

yeah clutch comes with the fly wheel kit apparently so you have to change it

mine was dying at 180k was about to get rid when someone rear ended me, minor damage but insurance wrote it off for £2k, happy days

i went out and bought another mondeo 6 months older but with 100k less on the clock and the fly wheel change 4 weeks earlier for . . . . £2k . . .

we're 'very aware that a new car does not maketh the man' aren't we

Indeed we are!

What, MP is 45 and bald??

I feel like I did when I learned that santa is actually real.

Who told you that?

[BoredBloke]

:, just a hunch but I could be wrong.

A poor sockie pretending to be a loser trying to chat up a 45 year old bald, fat programmer pretending to be a female.

Only on CUK.

Nightmare with the cost of clutch replacement, I understand?

What choice of steed will work with you? Anything has to be better than a Toyota Aygo surely?

Wilmslow - I seem to recall squillions of other "I might get a new car maybe possibly...." threads from you.

Interestingly, Sasguru does the same....

True, but I rarely open SAS's threads.

was doing 250 miles daily for almost a year in an 02 diesel mondeo, racked up 180k on it,

they do have a few known & expensive issues normally the dual mass flywheel at 80k ish which can cost £600 ish, or the fuel injectors can go as well (this is what happened to mine) which is around the same

but you can pick one up for around £2500 and get plenty of use outta it

if its a diesel as well always look for an alternative fuel source as well

Doing that sort of mileage will seriously damage your health - we were told that doing over 18,000 miles a year has the same risk as working on a building site.

You'll start reading the sun and be unable to bend over without revealing your arse crack?

Also, how much will leasing a car cost when they find out you're doing 35k a year?

If it's more than a tenner a month for a Peugeot, it's too much.
