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 bargain:
1990 G Reg Jaguar XJ Series XJ6 3.6. Automatic, 124,000 miles, 4 Owners. Midnight blue metallic, biscuit leather interior, this car drives like new, dry as a bone inside, all veneer and leather in showroom condition, new autobox and engine overhaul in 2003, only done 6,000 miles since, first to view will buy, this is a nice one at a bargain price. From the motor trade. Possible part exchange or near offer. £495.
