First car for student

Hello motor-talk community! I have to buy my first car and look for support and good advice at this point, because I have absolutely no idea of cars myself. I have read some basic knowledge in the last 3-4 hours, some of it from this forum, but have the feeling that I could still use a little individual advice. Who doesn’t like this thread or who doesn’t care about my job I don’t force him to read, who a I would like to help a little, thank you very much in advance. First of all to my person: I am 19 years old, student, 1.80m tall, live between Düsseldorf and Cologne and will hold my driver’s license in about a week. My concern is to be on the road with as little money as possible, purchase and maintenance combined. Important here: I plan only for exactly one year, as I now estimate from October2009 for 1 1/ 2 to 2 years will not need a car at all. But this one year I definitely want to drive, alone to gain a little practical experience. I have also thought about leasing offers, but think that they make rather less sense for my special case. I have to insure the car about myself and have also unfortunately for the purchase no one who could be of any help to me, neither parents nor friends who know well. Here a few basic data: For the l 250€ is available for the purchase. In theory, everything is up to 350€, but I would hate to spend more than 250€. I will drive an estimated 15t to 20t km this year. It will probably run out of a used small car. I have already looked at the Opel Corsa or the Renault Saxo a little bit. The difficulty in my situation is that I am dependent on a relative planning reliability, and on a reasonable amount of time. safe purchase, because I cannot judge vehicles myself at all.
