Default What to do with 4000euro

So the old government saving scheme is just about to come through for me, ive got 4000 to spend and i am looking into buying a car.

It will be the first car i own. I have 7years of driving experience , Im 25 and have a full clean license. I really dont have a clue what car i want , I have been looking at capris but im not sure if this is practical. Any suggestions are appreciated

capris contrary to what a lot of people believe are a shit car they do not handle and swap ends easily - get one for 4k and it will be a shitter - also get a good one now and it will be classic insurnace and the milage limits to accompany it.

decide on what is important to you, boot space, styling , reliability, miage/year 2, 3 or four door. what can you afford insurance tax and general running costs (petrol) etc. then get back to us and i'll tell you whats what.

the only advise i give ya is dont buy a FIAT or an Alfa. although there are other shite cars out there , these type of cars will present themselves for what seems resonable money.... they are buckets of shit , no exceptions
