CHEAP CARS

Today we'll look at 10 cheap cars you can buy for under a thousand pounds that are the best value for money. Let's get straight into it. Let's kick t For me this is a great car for someone adventurous who loves cars They come with a 1. 3L inline 4 engine putting out 80 brake horsepower taking them to 60 and 16. 3 seconds so they're not quick at all and owners have mentioned they're not great on motorways. They are listed anywhere from around 850 pounds and for 1k you're looking at 2003 model with Rust is a key common issue on these particularly on the wheel arches, boot floor and be They're also known for head gasket failure in the worst cases as well as 40 sensors leading to misfires. Next up we have the Volvo C30 w This car sits in the premi Rogely it's on the same platform as the second generation Ford Focus but it's truly a Volvo with that lovely minimalist interior and focus on understated premi And of course as a Volvo safety was at the top of their agenda and the car was awarded the top safety pick award from the insurance institute for Wit 62 turbocharged inline 4 block that makes 107 brake horsepower getting it to 60 in 10. 9 seconds so quite a big j They do start at around our 1k limit and with that kind of money you'll get itself a 2008 model that's done pretty Injectors can be problematic on these as can EGR valves. Cracked coolant tanks are also known and some turbo piping failures too. You can't quite get into a Ford Fiesta ST within our 1k price range but you can get the next best thing a Z-Tech S which is The key these come with a 1. 63 inline 4 end of the makes 98 brake horsepower taking them to 60 in 9. 9 seconds so not near the ST but at least it still shares those stylings. You'll find them starting in here from around 950 pounds and a Grand will get you a 2006 example with 80,000 miles on it. Faulty Aircon is the most common issue I could find on for Quill packs can go on them too and remember a lot of new drivers will have Now we have the Hyundai Coupe, a different looking sports car from an era before Hyundai really got into making any proper performance cars. It's named the Tiberian in other markets and t For Hyundai it was an opportunity to shake off their reputation for only making cheap entry level cars and the Coupe was built as the Halo car to entice people into their showrooms. There were also other brands from the region making popular coupes These come with a 2. 0-litre inline 4 engine with a 141 brake horsepower taking them to 60 in 9 seconds so it's not as fast as it looks but for sub 1k you can't complain. That's actually the lowest you'll find these listed for and you'll be looking at a 2006 model that's done around 100,000 miles for that kind of money. Cracking exhaust manifolds, body control module issues and noisy timing chains are known on these as well as in bad cases, rust. Same as the S to ST the Mini Cooper S isn't quite available wit I've chosen the first gen for the Cooper S has become known for its go-kart style handling but for the Cooper and 1 the same logic on handling kind of applied. The wheels will push the extremities to get them turning beautifully. It was of course designed to hark back to the original Mini in a time where throwbacks were becoming increasingly popular These come with a 1. 60 to inline 4 block that makes 115 brake horsepower getting them to 68. 9 seconds so only slightly quicker than the Coupe. If you want one you need to spend around 800 pounds and wit The electrical power steering p There have also been some cases of rust to be aware of. By the way when I make videos I get that but also I've bought three or four cars under a thousand pounds and every car I've bought has been sub three and a half k and they've all had their pros and cons. That's just part of the game and if you're enjoying t On to another sports car now the MG F that takes inspiration from classic British roadsters and applies the same formula of simplicity, lightweight and fun. Rogley though one of the main inspirations was the Jaguar XJR15 and I suppose if you squint and stand really far away you might see the similarities at the front end. The other key inspiration was the Ferrari 250LM and again same story. T You'll get a 1. 8L inline 4 end in the 818 brake horsepower taking up to 68. 5 seconds and the list ended with around a thousand pounds so for that money you'll be looking at a 1999 model with 45,000 miles an a clock. Corrosion is one key problem I see on for It was known to disproportionately suffer from head gasket failure, particularly in mid-engined cars because it was originally designed to be up front, getting all the calling it needed The Honda Civic Type R is a seriously well-loved car and many of them are great value for money too but the sub 1k there aren't really any available. You can however get into the Type S GT w The story is very similar to the ZTEC S and the Coupe we've already spoken about, much of the more aggressive stylings of the Type R just without the performance features. Think of it These come with a 2. 2-litre inline 4 turbocharged engine putting out 138 brake horsepower taking up to 68. 3 seconds so just under 2 seconds slower than the equivalent Type R. They start at around u00a31000 so for that money you'll get a season 9 model that's done pretty These are generally pretty reliable if for Dual mass flywheel wear is also known on that diesel engine as one of the more common issues and grinding between first and second gear could be synchro's going. There are a few saloons available for sub 1k but I t It's a 2. 5-litre V6 block to be exact that makes 194 brake horsepower getting them to 167. 9 seconds so not even crazily slow for our price range. It was built to compete with the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes Class w They ended up using a modified version of the Mondeo platform w You'll find them missing anywhere from around 800 pounds and for a grand you'll get 804 for example with 70,000 miles on it. The automatic gearbox on these is known to have slow or rough shifting as a key indicator of issues and oil and coolant leaks are also known from gaskets or the water p Quill packs can also go and the ABS sensors are known to fail. The first generation BMW 1 Series is a great value for money car across the board but the diesels in particular are real gems outside of not being you less compliant. The 123d is my personal pick but it's a little bit too pricey for us so instead I've given you the 120d for these came as a coupu00e9 convertible 3 door hatch and 5 door hatch and probably for under 1k building at the least popular but most practical 5 door hatch. The 3 door hatch and the coupu00e9 are by far my favourites though and every soften you might find on dropping into our price range. They come with a 2. 0L turbocharged inline 4 engine with 174 brake horsepower taking them to 167. 4 seconds and they can also be remapped to do way more than that. They start at our 1k limit right now w Timing chain issues are known on that engine w Taking the top spot on t It was meant to be the accessible route into the Mercedes brand getting rid of the stuffy executive only image that the brand had curated plus it arrived at a time where all the premi They come with a 2. 3L supercharged inline 4 engine putting out 197 brake horsepower taking them to 167 seconds w If you want one you need to spend around u00a3800, for 200 quid more than that you'll get a 1998 example that's done around 75,000 miles. The convertible roof is old at t Head gasket failures have also been known as well as misfires from failed cam position sensors. Some build quality issues are also known. That was 10 cars under a grand. I hope you enjoyed. Do hit the Thanks to the Patrons for their support and to you as well for watc Click on the screen to see some more cheap cars.
