My 17-year-old son passed his test very quickly and has saved up for a car. His maximum budget is £2,500. We have scoured local papers and local dealers but are a bit nervous about taking the plunge. Some of the dealers at this end of the market have not been entirely honest with us. Please would you give us a few pointers as to a good starting car that will hopefully give the least reliability issues, is cheap to run, tax and insure. Also where should we buy?
