I guess i should be more specific. I estimate to have a £2000 budget. What year and milage is resonable for that price bracket. Again... all help is greatly received.

For £2k, you should be able to pick up a half decent VTR. 70k~
Might manage a VTS, just not the best ones.

That sounds good, may stretch to £2200. So for £2000 i'm looking at a decent VTR minimum. What year and milage VTR should I get for that price. If it's a newer car I may go down the VTR or even westcoast route. Insurance shouldn't be too bad as i'm 27, but every penny counts at times!

I didn't quite man it like that, any money saved on costs is more to put into the car after!
I just stuck on what model to get at the moment.

W reg VTR for 1500 sounds great, i'd have thought it may be a tad higher. I assume though that was a good deal and i'll have to look hard for a comparable price?

honestly if you look around hard enough mate, you can even find a 53 reg for £1900
just go on auto trader, take a look around for private sellers, and knock the price down
easy as

Big thanks to SAM33R. At least i know the limits for my budget thanks to you. Many thanks, I'll look for a decent £2k VTR i think unless i can find a great Westcoast.
