Both are a bit over priced IMO.  A 600 quid rebuild on a 600 quid car is a
waste of money. If you only need the car for 4 months why are you bothered
about the life of the engines - what sort of distance are you expecting to
cover? 10K? 20K? If all you need is a cheap car to cover some miles there
are loads of sub-100k 500 quid Nissans and Fords around, just look in the
cheap section of the AutoTrader.
