What do you think about (1) 1994 Laser Intrigue, 45,000km, 1600 automatic, $5000 - apparently only one owner who's now no longer able to drive. What could I expect to go wrong and (2) Peugeot 307, 40,000km, automatic, 2L, $8,,000 - apparently a trade-in for a new car. On internet I see Peugeots can be a bit hit and miss and didn't see anything about Ford Laser Intrigue maybe because it's so old. I need reliability and would not be able to afford expensive repairs but desperately need a car.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
From what you mention, I don't recommend the Peugeot for your needs.
As good as the Ford Laser is, a 1994 vehicle Is not worth $5k. If you can haggle the price, it will be a good car with a good chance of not giving many issues.
However you can get a vehicle 10 years newer for that if you hunt around.
Maybe try looking for a Mazda2/ Demio, Toyota Corolla Allex or Runx, also a good choice is Suzuki Swift to name a few.

Very many thanks.
