Keep looking, you will find something. Just be patient. Ive made the mistake of buying in a hurry and regretted my decision.

Do you know what was wrong with it?A family member of mine just bought a 2004 Dihatsu Sirion auto with 140K on the clock for R70K!
Needless to say it broke down in Berea after 2 days of ownership. Been fighting so hard with myself not to dance around said family member singing "I told you so, I told you so!"

At some point in its life it had a major front end collision - but sadly I don't know the details will update if i find out more. But how dof can someone be, you don't have to be a car person to know that's a kak deal.

I almost bought this Honda Ballade for 85000 last month. It might still be available. What do you think?

I also
Maybe Mazda 2/ 3.
Friend has the Golf 4 2.0 and it has clocked over 350 000km anf had a hard life but it still soldiers on. I am aware that in its life the alternator died. GW stocks parts and i dont think you will struggle to look after it.
Couple of my friends have the I20 and last time i checked the one is over 200k km and other 115k km and still going strong.
I know the one with 200k km had its fuel tank replaced and that was it.
OP why not look for a Toyota Auris as they are good reliable cars, i drive a 2011 one and to date its been reliable doing plenty of kilos.

Looks decent. If it’s still available take a mechanic with check, access if any major issues can be seen or heard.
Hondas are quite decent.

Sell me yours?

The Mazda 2 or 3 are good.
The auris has a bulletproof engine and that reliability of Toyota.
Unfortunately i am loving mine and going to keep it for many years to come.
What's your budget btw?
80000

Engines last long, but they quite thirsty for a 1.6L.

From a glance at the specs it looks like it uses the 1.6 Duratec engines, it's one of the most reliable engines Ford has ever made.
I vote for it.

That 1.6L is pretty pap. Test drive it. YMMV.
