WHAT CAR IS GOOD? (UK EDITION) I'm a pizza boy in need

>>14216468
That should be £550 in savings, not £750

>>14216468
Not from England, but as someone who works with pizza drivers a lot I can tell you those cars are not treated as well as they should be. Get something you're prepared to drive hard.

Also, don't buy a second car, you'll probably end up with double the problems. Better to consolidate for one better car.

>>14216468
DON'T get a Celica GT. The 1.8L 1ZZ has really bad oil burning issues until 2003. I had one and it burned oil so insanely fast that it ended up running out on me.

GTS apparently doesn't have the issue but that's premium.

Otherwise it's a great little car, miss mine.

If you're a real pizza delivery guy, you would know that 4 doors are your only option

2 doors would be torture loading bags in and out

If you don't like the celica look into AE111 BZ-R.

>>14216957
Shame, they're cheap and look like fun

>>14217009
GTS is also pretty cheap, I'll see if I can find one with a lot of history

>>14217018
Cars I've used while working here (the last 2 years)

Hyundai Accent 3 door
E46 coupe
Fiat Panda 3 door
Saab 9-5 saloon.

I use the passenger seat/floor most of the time, the back seat is only used to store the empty bags and my maps.

>>14217046
I'll need to look that up, Corolla right?

>>14217048
Yeah, corolla

>>14217046
>super strut repair on pizza boy money

>>14217052
Looks like they start about £2500 here, they seem to be quite rare.

>>14217053
I've got a garage and decent tools, I do 85% of my own work, parts cost is the biggest barrier to me.

>>14217058
Replacements for the super struts are going to be about as much as the car is worth.
You can convert to regular struts but I think it would be better to avoid unless you really like having an AE111

>>14217063
Like I said, they're pretty rare in the UK, I only found 2 for sale (£2200 that needs an MOT and £3900 with one) so I doubt I'll ever have the issue to fix

>Try to find Celica GTS
>Find this

I've always wanted a convertible....

Also, update. Here in the UK, the GTS was called the VVT-i GT, so all the GTs are actually GTSs

>>14216468
I delivered pizza in An mx5 for a few years. Great car for it, fun to drive,reliable, easy to load up with roof down, decentish mpgs, and only 2 seats so they wont send you to pick up workers.

>>14217094
I'm only seeing rusty NBs in my price range, I need something that isn't going to cost my ass in welding every couple months.

Also, I'll be parking 400 yards from the Irish sea, so rust isn't something I can avoid.

>>14217071
make that 4wd

>>14217111
>GT Four convertible

Best idea in history

>>14217109

South Scotland, I've set up the search for 200 miles to cover most of both Scotland and England. I'm getting 9 results for MX-5s on Autotrader, and this is the best one

Am I wrong for not wanting the 1.6? 100hp seems like nothing

>>14217131

Let me trawl through them all.

>>14217148

>>14217153
I dunno about ebay, the cars always seem overpriced by like £500 compared to the trading sites

That mazda is pretty cool, but I'm hitting the same problem I always do...

The rest are varying degrees of out of my price range or really far away

Literally what the fuck did you just say

>>14217231
>also, the first time I drove a manual, or learned so to speak, was in a VW Golf that had been rented. Because Straya, Cunt. The centre of London is brutal, but fun. Would troll you pommy cunts again with my shit manual skills.

I think that's about right.
