Very tight budget runner?

Fella's...

For those who missed my intro,my name is Tevin,I'm a student from pmb.Long story short,I'm carless after writing off my golf(wasn't my fault) and now I'm on a really really REALLY strict budget.Usually I wouldn't rush into anything but the circumstances have put me in a state of desperation.I've been looking for a cheap daily to get me to and from campus which is roughly a 15km trip there and back.Now I'm know I can't expect a minter for under R20k but I've been browsing OLX and gumtree for a while and have found a few cars.The thing is,as I am a student,I cannot travel very far to view the cars and this could be a huge problem as people can easily BS over the phone.Basically what I need is some advice on where to go from here and some opinions on a few cars.

So far these seem "ok" considering the money being asked.

I fully understand what comes with a car within this budget.Rust,behind licences,faded paint etc etc etc.

Opinions,suggestions,advice more than welcome!:thumbs:

Howsit bud, I dont think these would be suitable. Most of these seem to have pretty expensive problems that would need your attention... I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you :thumbs:

Thanks a lot man:thumbs:

That's something that's also a concern.I did most of the work on my golf but there's a big difference between a citi and a beemer lol.I browsed around and although spares are plentiful on the web.The prices are not too grand.:argh:

I'm just hoping I get the bursaries I applied for.That should help my situation abit.

Good luck bro :thumbs:

If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty then DIY is the way to go. But stuff like "Odometer not working" and "Front suspension needs work" are gonna be expensive fixes
