    Well...you might be able to get a Toyota Corolla for around that. Reeeeealy boring cars (I know I had one) but they're totally and utterly bulletproof! I had mine for 5 years and it started first turn of the key every single time.

    If it's your 'horsey' daughter Alan you might consider a Suzuki Vitara or Jimny (don't start everyone there great reliable cars, I've had 5 ) you might just get an old Vitara for that amount. Great for keeping the 'just passed test' speed down and handy for all that horsey stuff you need to carry round.
