Mercedes-Benz 190E 1.8

When it comes to cars, everyone wants a bargain. And with cars getting more reliable, more durable and more rot-free than ever they have been, paying pocket money for an older machine need not be a total restoration job.

In other words, old cars have never been such a good buy. So in the spirit of aiming for fun, low-cost motoring, here's our regular weekly slot. We've trawled the depths of Auto Trader to find a drive-away bargain for £500 or less.

So here's this week's car (and if you find a bargain worth of inclusion next week, let us know):

1993 K Reg MERCEDES-BENZ 190E 1.8. 4 Doors, Manual 5 speed, Saloon, Petrol, 124,000 miles, Red, MOT-11-2006, 1 Owner.
