2nd hand car Swansea

[8den]

Right. Quite fucked.

My wife, Iguana, had a baby yesterday. Today I blew a gasket in my car. It's dead. It has ceased to be, it is a ex car.

I need a estate (kid+two dogs) car PRONTO. I can't spend more than a grand. And I need it pronto. Aside from the kid and the dogs, I work on Fabian way, and am renting in the mumbles.

Please someone Swansea based advise where I should go ASAP.

Sorry ddraig, Completely clueless. We moved over here in the summer. I'm on a short term contract on a tv show shooting on Fabian Way working a 60+ hr week, and Iguana hasn't been exactly mobile for obvious reasons. We've pretty much stuck to Swansea city, the Mumbles and so forth. So completely fucking clueless.

don't apologise, you must be all over the shop!
can't think which posters would be able to help sorry
good luck as i say

Maybe Neath Road second hand car places at the top of the Hafod might be worth a look. £1000 upper linit will restrict you as you know, but there can be cheap cars on sale sometimes.

was the only thing I thought might be worth getting on gumtree.

Congratulations on the baby
There's a Golf too but depends on the size of the dogs I think 2 terriers might be ok but 2 labs or rotties I don't think so! Having said that my mate gets both her german shepherds in the boot of hers!
