I passed my test in ‘98 & my 2nd car was a Silver ‘84 Capri 1.6 Lazer bought for £450 but cost £890 to insure 3rd party:-0 and they didn’t even know about the extras I tuned it with either:-S was one of the best ***** magnets I’ve ever driven though, brilliant cars, especially when its a rainy day:-) anyone who has owned a Capri will understand the fun you can have on wet roads with a it:-)

Ive got a 2.8L V6 Capri and goes like hot fudge! sounds lush and is most easiest car to maintain, nothing comes close like driving the Capri

My first car was a 1987 Audi 5000 S also known as the Audi 100. I paid 2000 dollars for it and it had 50 thousand miles on it. Not to mention it was also fully loaded. After I got it, I found the pay stub from the original owner under the seat. That particular car cost them around 37,000 bucks brand new in 1987. It also had the unbeatable 2.3L 5 cylinder. Awesome car.

Buying an old car?

Buy something from Germany or from Japan.
Best reliability.

I still have a 18-year GTD and it’s indestructible. No rust, all the electrics (they’re not many, you know) work, extremely good handling, excellent mileage. If someone’s looking for an extremely tough-low-mantenience bargain car, old Golfs and Jettas do a great job.

They seem to be forgetting about insurance costs!!!
My first car was a Peugeot 205 diesel and you’d think the insurance would be next to nothng for an old non turbo Diesel,think again! It seems with some insurance companies if you’ve got a big engine,even if it’s steam powered their going to charge you a lot.That’s why most young drivers have 1.2 Corsa’s 1.1 Fiesta’s etc???

I had a Ford Capri 1.6 as my 2nd car at 18 and now own a 2.0, and it is a BRILLIANT car. That 1.6 saved my life when the back-end did it’s usual job of flipping me into a ditch/tree- double-skin steel chasis/body took all the impact and she started (!!!!) first time after spending the night on her back! Insurance was as low as a Nissan Micra at 18 years old.
Go for it! Classic car, brilliant car.

Im surprised that toyota was not also featured after all they are the most relible motors out there but for styleish powerfull and goodlooks it has to be the capri!

try looking at insurance before buying a car, it helps. And a 1.1 is perfectly respectable. In the uk you can get a bloody good car for £400, and even more so at the moment.
