As per title....(no, its not for me!)

 

My daughter passed her test Monday :thumbup1: and has her heart set on a Ka so thought I would chance my arm and check on here!

 

Basically looking for one with a decent MOT left on it, Tax on it would be a bonus but no probs if not, no more than a 1.3 engine (thats probably the biggest they come in anyway!) and I want to pay around £650 max :) She wants a pink one :wacko: but will be banning that from my drive!

 

If any of the guys have one, seen one or know someone selling one, please give me a shout.

 

Thanks y'all :thumbup1:

 

Only kidding Andy! :sweatdrop:

 

I am doing someone a Transformers badge, that would look better :)

Ka,s do rot pretty bad, normally under all that plastic crap they stuck on em.

 

106s and Saxos rot on the boot floor edges along the seam. 1.1s are also prone to head gasket faliure and CV joint faliure, which means you have to replace the whole shaft, as the joints cant be split from the shaft without knackering the shaft.

 

VW golfs and polos suffer with rot to the lower doors, and tailgates areas but also the floor and footwells go on the older less looked after ones, VWs also suffer alot of "console bush" faliures as they use a suspension arm bush which is bonded to a weak plastic sleeve as opposed to metal that most manufacturers use, causing them to fail quite easily if worked hard.

 

If you really have to get a ka id try and get one thats already been welded, as if you buy one which hasnt been the chances are you will need it doing for its next mot.

 

Talk her into a Yaris or a micra, Having said that the micras suffer with throttle body problems!!
