What would be people prefered 2nd hand cars in a £5k budget?
I'm looking for a practical car that's is cheap to run and could occasionally fit a bike in the back (I'm happy to take the wheel off if needed). I'd like to use it for some long trips, but mainly London miles. I'm not too fussy about brands or the image that the car would give me.
As you can see, I'm not a car person and I've never owned a car, more of a two wheels person - multiple bicycles and motorbikes. But lately, I have quite a few situations where a car is the best tool for the job and using Zipcars are now becoming a bit of a hassle given how often I do.
I'd also like to try and avoid increase my carbon footprint too much - but a new electric car is out of reach, unfortunately.
