Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
The problem with a cheap car is that it will be old and will probably cost more in repairs. Low fuel consumption is also an issue with older cars. The newer ones tend to be designed to be lower on this.
Look for a small car with an engine size of no more than 1.2cc as that will use less fuel and should be lower on insurance. If you find one that's around 10 years old, so an X or Y reg, that should also help with the price.
You could look at Corsa's, Seat's and Micra's as they are good starter cars. The only other problem with a 'rust bucket' is that not only is it likely to cost a lot in repairs just to keep it roadworthy, it might not pass it's MOT. This is compulsary for any car over 3 years old. If the police were to stop you and you did not have the relevent paperwork you could end up with a fine, the car could be seized and your insurance would go through the roof. You also run the risk of a ban.
