what kind of money you looking to spend?

I had a crash on the 8th april and totalled my 307 :mad: It was my fault and I only had TPFT insurance :(

So to be fair it aint a huge budget :o about £1800 max

you might find something cheap on ebay best to look on , or auto trader. my dad is selling a 2000 on an x which is the older shape but its done more miles than what your after. im sure you can get something decent for your money though.

go to a dealeship and see what they have coming in on part-ex. Often dealerships are keen to get rid of older cars that they take in on part ex and they either go to the auction (as Dvaid said) or can be bought real cheap

If you get a focus get one with the heated front windscreen, it's awesome in winter.

but watch the indemnity as its very expensive at bca. manheim isnt as bad. there is a good one in mansfield where i live but also another in leeds but its more newer stuff.
