Years ago sospan jnr was doing a placement year as part of a degree. He was based at home. I bought a runabout for him. A Proton with 1.3l Mitsubushi engine. Low mileage at 32k and 10 yrs old. £600 from my dad’s mate. After trying it out we swopped cars! I used it for commuting (60 miles each way on M4) so cruising along. Jnr used our Focus.
Proton had no pulling power but trundled along well. VERY reliable. One brake calliper seized and no other costs apart from routine service. Did 20k in a year and sold it for £600. I regretted selling it.
