Two sports cars you can buy for under £5,000 – including ‘iconic looking convertible’ from discontinued brand
CLASSIC car fans are in luck after a pair of motoring whizzes revealed two sporty motors for under £5,000 – including an “iconic looking convertible”.
Geoff Thompson, a car YouTuber and Ian from Cherished Vehicle Insurance Services have chosen reliable and stylish cars, making the £5,000 price tag a steal.
The Saab 900 Convertible is a “great-looking” car with a dependable 2.0-litre engine.
A 1992 model with around 190,000 miles on the clock is on the market for just under £4,500 at Car & Classic.
This is a great price despite being slightly rough around the edges, as you can spend hefty amounts on these Saab 900s, according to car experts
Motorists don’t have to worry about avoiding the Saabs with high mileage due to the car’s sturdy engine.
Drivers looking for a cheap classic sports car should opt for the Fiat Coup.
The sleek hardtop from the late 90s can accelerate from 0-62mph in a staggering 6.3 seconds.
Ian said: “Have you ever owned a bad Fiat? Neither have I.”
Sports car fans can behind the wheel of a 1997 2.0-litre engine with around 73,000 miles for just under £5,000 on Autotrader.
However, the car expert admitted that they can be a “nightmare to work on”.
These aren’t the only reliable motors on the market for a bargain.
These car whizzes shared the three best family cars you can get your hands on for less than £5,000.
One of the used cars is described as a “gorgeous” motor from a famous brand which comes complete with stylish diamond headlights.
The petrolheads at Top Gear have drawn up a list of the best family cars you can get on a budget.
Volvo V50 estate
First off the blocks is this offering from the Swedish manufacturers which comes with a fancy ‘R Design’ and could be yours for £4,450.
Under the bonnet is a 1.6-litre diesel engine giving you an average of 65.7mpg between a top-up at the pumps.
There’s also the Volvo reliability which pretty much comes as a standard feature with their vehicles.
The one the Top Gear team plumped for had 103,000 miles on the clock, so you can expect there’s plenty more life left for family outings.
Alfa Romeo 159 Sportswagon
While the models that come with either a 1.9 or 2-litre version are easy to find for under £5k, a 3.2 V6 version isn’t so easy to lay your hands on for that price.
While the one found by the experts may have had some wear and tear, they still thought the 159 Sportswagon still looked “brilliant”.
It comes with the iconic Alfa Romeo grille from the Noughties and the spherical diamond headlights out front.
Audi S4 Avant
When considering a cheap estate, performance probably isn’t going to be a top priority.
But this Audi S4 Avant boasts a 4.2-litre V8 engine, giving you 344bhp.
Its 302lb ft of torque gets it to 60mph in under six seconds.
The Quattro drivetrain means it should be able to accomplish those figures in pretty much all environments.#
It comes after one of Britain’s best-selling motors will be rivalled by an upcoming Fiat model when the affordable SUV hits the market.
And this sports car from the 2000s that Jeremy Clarkson once highly praised can now be all yours for a bargain price.
