Turbo car for -£1000

[VtsTom]

Any ideas?

Dont mind how rough or old it is, as long as its taxed and mot'd.

Been on the lookout for ages but nothing really takes my fancy.

Had a look a UNO turbo last night, was a right dog. Didnt even run. Gutted

Just want something to have a giggle in for a month or 2 then sell on...

Ideas...?

[Peejous]

Renault 5?

Punto?

[pink-lady]

try a Renault 21 turbo, big brother of the 5, wicked car is you can get a good one

[ToRn]

punto GT's are pretty quick a mate of mine has one but ive always wanted an r5 GT turbo (quicker than the Punto GT's)

[VtsTom]

Had a look at a few 5s, most of them under a grand dont have mot and wont pass without alot of work.

Not seen any puntos for under a grand either. Gaybar

[Dan]

Yeah I would say punto gt, r5 gt, maybe an older rs turbo?

[Karl]

Punto,
Five,
Uno,
Dog of an RS Turbo,
Dog of a Fiat Coupe

[Ben]

306 d-turbo :P

[VtsTom]

Hmm tbh, the fiats dont do much for me. I would rather have something that looks like a shed but goes like stink for the sleeper factor. Sorry Grant, love you

Turbo car for £1k :panic:

I understand your idea but surely it'll be hard to sell on, if it doesn't die before you try to.

[matt_vtr_15]

the mr2 t-bar near the bottom... under a grand with tax n mot...

you can remap those yourself easily as well, so could make it tuned for just ragging everyhwere free of charge,,,,,

dont think hes too bothered, just wants something to raf it seems lol,,,

[Tony]

Must be nice to have £1k to loose.

[Evolution4589]

Simple rule is that while it may be cheap as chips on face value, the seller isn't selling it that low out of the kindness of their heart. It's probably because there's something expensive coming up, or the maintenance is stupid.

Spend good money and get a good car... not less than £1000 on some shitter that might or might not explode.

[VtsTom]

Not going to loose any money. I shall only have it for a little while but i shall take care of it while enjoying it

[Coonper]

Get either a calibra turbo, cavalier turbo, rover 200 turbo or a corsa c20let! You could probably get any of those for under 1k!:y:

[Karl]

Cant you not have the turbo and just get a dog rough looking Nova 2.0?

[Chris]

Get a V6 instead of a turbo...... much stronger engines!

[VtsTom]

Just fancy a turbo something or other. I despise vauxhalls

[Chris]

V6 Roar FTW!!!!!!

[Karl]

Scorpio Cosworth.
Will get one for less than 1k and will go like a rocket!
look crap too.

[Mikey]

turbo corsa maybe..and old one. corsa b? or even a nova.

[smiith]

look for the old MR2's, or a 200sx turbo or something :D

[smiith]

Alpine GTA is it? the turbo V6?

[Mikey]

you want it to be cheap to fix

[EssexHoney]

Are you trying to do the Top Gear thing where they buy cars for under £1000 and drive them round until they die or will it be a project?

Id go for Renault 5 GT Turbo if it was me, i dont think i would ever get one but they are still lovely cars!!

[Coonper]

Not for under a grand...

Vauxhalls make strong engines mate! Stronger than most french engines tbh.

The C20LET is what you want;)

[betty02]

[kristel10589]

try a Renault 21 turbo, big brother of the 5, wicked car is you can get a good one

My dad sold his Renault 21 turbo for £400, i remember the power once the turbo kicks in was like wooooooowwwww :y:

[Coonper]
