• I need to buy a car as a stopgap. Partner has a new car coming early next year. Her current car is due an MOT in November and it won't pass. Any money spent getting it to pass wont be made back when selling it early next year.

    So, we'd like to sell/ scrap the current car before it's MOT is due and buy a stopgap car . We will then sell the stopgap car once the new one arrives in a few months .

    We need something that will be cheap to buy and insure, and be easy enough to sell on . Something reliable (as reliable as possible for a cheap 2nd hand car ) . Ideally around 2k.

    Any particular models is should be looking at? Where should I be looking for private sales ?
