605 is a good shout. As with all Pugs check the electrics are ok. My mate bought one for 200 quid a few months back and had no problems whatsoever. Not even any creaks or rattles inside and its done 140k.
I recently parked the S in a ditch/hedge and whilst waiting for the insurance to come through bought a Mundano at the local car auctioons for 1200. (W reg 1.8 TD, 77k) Ended up needing new discs and bushes at the front at a cost of

Cheers folks, much as I thought.
My thought was buy with MOT and bin it if it is going to cost, bit of a gamble I know
Or up the spend to get something more reliable
I'll never go Mundano or Vectra - Hate them.
Thinking large luxo - 5 series possibly, but would prefer 7, Jag, etc. and auto

Thats as low as I would go on the Jag market
View any 1K luxobarge as a 3-4K car and put the money in a high interest account for when you need it.
If you approach it that way you will do ok (and get someone who knows something about the particular car to come along and have a check, or pay a dealer to look it over)
