Which are the cheapest cars to run?

old ,cars should be checked for rust,some of them would be extremly dangreous in a crash,i have seen some just crumple to bits old car drivers beware,dont tell me they were better and stronger built,they were certainly built with heaver metal,but the rust proofing was nill,hence the term rust buckets.

We bought a new Fiesta 1.8 diesel in 1993. After 275,000 miles we parted company. The engine was still very, very good and she still returned 65 mpg. A BMW tried to occupy the same piece of road as her as we pulled away from a roundabout and the repair was not a very good one (Insurance company recommended).

I am embarrassed to say that we didn't have the oil changed for the last 100,000 miles, but she kept going, and going, and going... in fact she didn't have a service for the last 125,000 miles.

In all that time she only ever broke down once, The cable to the starter motor broke off and I had to spend 35p on a new connector, and 10 minutes repairing her. That was all.

Probably the best value-for-money car we will ever own. I miss Bridget (so called because she was a Fiesta Bordeaux ~ hence, Bridget Bordeaux ~ my wife's idea!)

I am trying to live a dream. Before I die I want to drive a RANGE ROVER. Where can I hire one for the week/end in Bucks?

my r reg i.25 fiesta auto has not let me down once in 6 years of owning it on a run i get 330 miles on a full tank 42 pounds 122 thousand miles on the clock and its running superb serviced and oil changed once a year.

I've had 4 citroen Picassos lovely car. Pity thay don't make them any more.

If you want a cheap car to run get one built before the mid 1970s! Such as VW beetle, Morris minor, Ford Anglia etc.

Tax exempt will cost you absolutely nothing to tax! Not a penny :)))))

No expensive computers to fail and cost hundreds of pounds to diagnose and fix.

An engine that is easy to fix and you can do it youself withot the need of a degree in automotive engineering, fault code diagnostics etc.

Parts are actually not that expensive on historical vehicles compared to modern ones, you can get them through owners clubs. A morris minor for example is compatible with a Ford Sierra gear box and clutch!

Buy yourself a '99-'02 MGF, TF or if you need something bigger a ZR/ZS. By the time you've fixed up the known issues (head gasket, underfloor cooling pipes, polybushes, etc) you'll still be about 3 grand better off than dropping 16k on a new car that needs advance warning to accelerate, and you'll be making around 40-45MPG combined in a car that'll last you many, many years if you look after it well.

Why wasn't Fred Flintstones car on the list.

AW Naw they're at it again, first with the petrol scam now with what car to buy, All I can say is you work hard for your money so spend it the way you want not what the media say's.

emiges may well have a car that can accelerate and have a high top speed , Its just a shame that being a yank sports car it doesn't go around corners very well.
Fuel consumption is only relevant to those who care about what they spend on fuel.
