Ah, sorry Maxpower I didn't realise you were looking for someone selling something, I thought you were asking for ideas.

 

Something like this?

£950, 77000 miles, but MOT a tad short (March 2017). Plus Staffordshire isn't exactly close to London but car looks alright

Tons of stuff in auto flavour, under a grand and in London. Downside...... Gumtree.

A family member is considering selling her 2003 Peugeot 206 automatic after Christmas.

 

If she still thinks the same and you are still looking for something I will post something. However, good luck with your search.

Sounds ideal.... she isn't in "must have it now" mode so she is in no rush, so if your family member does decide to sell..drop me a pm please thanks.

Just got this back from my mate, tonight. Loaned him it for work whilst he was between cars:

27k, Full stamped history, 11 months test, 2 (I think) previous owners, 30 quid tax, 2 keys, wants for nothing. Interior very tidy, no usual bolster or carpet wear etc. Runs on fresh air.

 

Looking for £800. Can deliver.

 

Missed the auto bit lol. Does she have a manual licence? If so, I strongly suggest you tempt her into a manual. If not, she will probably never drive one again.

Severely limiting her choice of future cars. IMO anyway.

Whoever wants* a small car has been brainwashed by the MSM.

What you really want is a big bloody V8.

V motors sound great, but when talking fairly average cars, give me a boosted 4 banger for performance any day.

 

No replacement for displacement? Yeah, right!

I dunno! I thought this when a wife's friend said she was getting an auto licence. However when I thought about it, manuals could be a dieing thing with the rise of full electrics and hybrids. Almost all of them are automatic in some form. Especially full-electric.

The End.....

 

I wouldn't on a £1k budget, they're CVT, and I've not heard the best things about them. 25000 mile fluid change interval...

Two of our neighbours had them in the early 2000s, both of which have migrated to Toyotas now, having not rated the Jazz much either.

Jazz is excellent in all but CVT flavour. But then pretty much anything in CVT or robo-box flavour is crap. I'd be really looking for something with traditional slush.

Peugeot 306 Automatic.  Fun to drive, spacious, cheap as chips, strong 4 speed proper auto box (must be pre-1999 though to get ZF box and not awful AL4).
