egg Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Anyone got a small cheap automatic in stock they want to shift, within striking distance of Kent with a bit of test? Must have PAS. Warning: this could be one of those flaky requests that get lots of responses to which I do nothing. This is because I'm debating whether to wait til after Xmas to get the Fusion clutch done, because man maths. Sorry Ken, not the Volvo! Auto is for Mrs Egg who is trying to rebuild driving confidence. Thanks. djimbob and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That looks horrendous , and not even in an amusing way. Miserable. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Clio MK1 Autos supposedly aren't too bad but seem reasonably uncommon now. Budget around £500 and you'd get a really nice one, although they're all old now. Probably your best bet reliability is a Corolla or something. Loads of them about right?

egg Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Probably Bramz. It's a bit of a fools quest really, as one category of old cars that seems to hold more value than most is the small auto - as dealers can perhaps always sell them to the proverbial little old lady. There's lots of 15 year old auto shite at £795-£995. Two weeks before Xmas too. Maybe just get this damn clutch fixed and stop arsing about. Oh well, hope springs eternal. I'll keep looking as it's too damn cold to do anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 This looks spot on. 5 door practicality, good visibility and Japanese reliability can be cited to Mrs egg. Old enough for classic insurance too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Swift-AUTOMATIC/253153051483?hash=item3af119035b:g:OlMAAOSw1G1ZulI- egg, Lacquer Peel and dollywobbler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
