looking for a cheap to run car. and also a golk mk2

I tried to edit my other post last night but it cant be edited after 30 minutes or something ?? so anyway i thought i had better post a better thought out thread. so here goes…

anyway im really on the lookout for a reliable runner on behalf of my mum. some idiot drove into her parked car and drove off and as a result is now scrapped and she really needs a car. so for her preferably a very reliable small cheap to run car would be ideal.

and on the off chance that anyone knows of a good golf mk2 GTi or driver (1.6/1.8 carb) up for grabs please letme know about that too. thanks
