Have you tried on ebay? They've had some really good ones in the last few weeks, and not that expensive either!

How about giving us some clues?
Like price range, size, new or s/h, petrol or diesel, sports, 4x4, estate, hatchback, convertable etc etc.
You might just get some useful replies then.

The first car I bought was a Peugeot 306.
I'd wanted one of these since my Dad bought a Sedan model when I was younger. I finally got around to buying a 95 model, 1.9 litre engine, turbo diesel with a little over 100,000k on the clock. It runs amazingly sweet, it is in immaculate condition and feels like it is new. I only paid 600 for it.
Obviously everyone recommending a car will go with something they have experience with. My experience is a 306, and going along with other reviews from different owners I know, you wouldn't make a bad choice with a Peugeot.
Happy car hunting.

As for dealers to avoid, don't go to Carcraft - it's ridiculously over-priced and all their salesman kept saying to us was "are you gonna but it today? are you gonna but it today?"

Any dealer but Reg Vardy unless you're happy to subsidise the teaching of creationism as scientific fact in Sir Peter Vardy's schools link.

For dealers try Direct Cars out at Mosborough - salesmen aren't pushy.
Link to their website below - see if they've anything you fancy rather than wasting the journey!
