A 1.3 I think, ideally.

I few years back now I owned a VW Golf. It was fairly old, has a fair bit of trouble with it now and again, but loved it. For the past 7 or so years now I've driven a Ford KA. Some might booo but when I bought her she'd only done 4'000K - she's now been clocked, sometimes travelling over 400-500 miles a month - and hasn't broken down once. Lucky, maybe. Anyways, moving on... The time has come (I think) to look for a replacement. I know they're not being manuafactured anymore, but love VW Lupos. So I was thinking of getting one, though I know it'd have to be a few years old now. I'll be looking for a relatively cheap one (between 2 to 4K) with the lowest mileage I can as I can travel a lot. My questions are, for anyone who might want to offer a bit of friendly advice: 1) Can you still get parts for Lupos relatively easily? 2) How reliable is a Lupo likely to be now given their age? Will have to do a bit of steady motorway driving on and off. 3) Should I consider a Fox instead? An UP! would be way to pricey for me at the minute. 4) Obviosly I'd be buying 2nd hand, so would there be anything specifically I should look out for? Will check back in later guys and gals Big Red.
