What car for £600 would you choose that is cheap to run, cheap to maintain, and cheap to insure? How fast it is, age etc don't matter.

This, or maybe a mk3 golf gti 8v depending on your definition of cheap to run.

I've just bought a 1999 Skoda Felicia 1.9 non-turbo diesel. FSH (more or less) - 10 months MOT, 3 months tax. Excellent condition inside. Not at all bad to drive and got 46.9MPG average in a test run yesterday. A mix of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 speed limits.

All for £600.

Tyres will be £42 per corner as and when they need replacing.

Bangernomics doesn't get any better!
