Recommend me car models for a £2,000 budget with good air con and parking sensors

[LettuceBeFree]

Hi,
I'm looking for a :
Manual car
Ideally less than 70k mileage
No more than 10 years old
Parking sensors
Very good air conditioning
I don't mind how many doors it has
Narrow
Not too long (smaller the better really)
Ideally petrol

If anyone can recommend me car makes & models that are likely to meet the above spec and still be around £2,000 or less, that would be super helpful :)

Bump :)

I think you'll be lucky to spend that and get that age and spec but would love to be proved wrong

Where would you compromise? Because a car for 2k won't have everything on your wish list.

Look on auto trader, you can put in max age, price and engine type, distance from your address and then see what comes up? However the wish list is quite specific, aftermarket sensors and a regas would only set you back a couple of hundred if you can't get it all. Aircon is only really useful in winter to demist the car, and for a short period in summer...

DP has just paid £1600 for a 12 YO VW Golf with most of those and a full service history as well as being immaculate inside and out.

I'd probably play with the filters on Autotrader and see if there is anything that looks worthwhile, although I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage being slightly higher than that as long as it's been serviced regularly.

Do you really need parking sensors on a small car?
