Buying a used car for £3000 - what would you recommend?
Im looking to buy a used 5 Door medium sized petrol car for no more than £3000. Which of these cars would you recommend, 2004 Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec or 2003 Toyota Corolla 1.6. Both cars have around 60,000 Miles. Or can you recommend anything else?

The Ford Focus should be a better drive and easier to get fixed. I'd recommend buying that.

I have seen an automatic 2003 Toyota Corolla 1.6 for £1995. It has a full MoT and service history. It has done 61,000 miles and for its age I believe that is a low mileage. Is this a good deal?
