Which Engine (kinda new car thread but not :P )

[Oil-burner]

50+ mpg
125 tax
<500 insurance

If it died tomorrow id make more than my money back through breaking it.

Say you bought a mondeo/vectra how much is that gonna be worth in 5 years?
The 306s are pretty much as cheap as they are gonna get now dt's are still fetchin up to a grand so if mine is still running in 5 years id still get pretty much what I paid for it.

All the things you listed wrong with your car are wear and tear parts, dont you think a 5 year old car will want those too?
I think you're in for a shock if you waste your nans money on a shit vauxhall for the sake of 5mpg!
