We need a cheap second car. What should we get?

We want a run-around for local trips that won't cost much. What car do others in this position recommend?

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out ? a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday's paper.

This week's question

We need a second car for local trips and are looking for the cheapest possible motoring. A Morris Minor will cost �100 a year to insure, and be tax free, but needs work. There is an old Toyota Prius nearby for �999 which is good on fuel and tax. What do others in our shoes drive?
