You'd easily pick up a second hand early Mini for under 6k

Agreed, don't get a swift.
Have you looked at Mitsubisi's Colt. The new ones just been released meaning the old ones are available for peanuts.
My 19 year old cus is on his second, he love them and there supposedly easy to fettle with and tune (if your into that).
They did a Colt 'blue' which you should have a look at. It came with met blue paint, 16" alloys, matching interior etc. An ideal first car with cheap insurance and it looks pretty cool. Depreciation could be an issue but not as bad as a Swift. Have a look at it.
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road_tests/index.htm?id=246p.s. please don't get a Mini. Am fucking sick of the sight of the things. Am sure that in a traffic jam of stationary traffic i could walk over the roofs of Mini's and never need to step on another car or touch the floor theres so many of the bastard things around. They are the most common thing on the road. I hate everything about them.

does anyone know for sure either way if the lexus rx400h is exempt from congestion charge? i know when my dad had one a few years ago it was, but loads of stuff on the internet saying its no longer exempt and just called lexus edgware road and theyre saying it is?
