The local bargain game

£695! Plenty left in the pot for coke and hookers!

Good find sir.

[V8mate]

It's Friday again, so...

I'll take £450 pound's worth of Volvo 940 and have a party with the rest.

[louiebaby]

I had a choice of 643 cars. So I went down to within 1 mile, and had 5 to choose from. This is the best:



I'd have to get busy with the hairdryer to get the stickers off it though!

Flames aside, that's quite a smart little runabout.

[Chrisw666]

I'll have to resubmit last weeks entry, or pick the knackered £500 N/A Fiat Coupe from a dealer I wouldn't buy a dog from.

[STW2010]

£890 for a pretty tidy looking Puma

[jonnydm]

Despite looking for a convertible for the weekend, I'll take this Puma - needed to try one at some point anyway.

I could have gone for a Puma to make it 3 in a row of them, but the one near me is a bit ropey.

I like the wheels too...

[Minemapper]

£900. Crazy cool private plate alone has to be worth that much.

[Crook]

Ok, so I have gone £500 max.

This would get my vote.

Cracking value

[JameshGT]

225 near me.

£995



Primera 2.0 GT £800



2.3 V5 Bora, £990



EDIT: 2.3 not 2.4 :doh:

[therealpigdog]

A lot of tat round me, but this prelude stands out for just £695. An MR2 ran it pretty close though, and the 3.7l A8 would have been the winner if it hadn't just been used by Jason Statham for his latest stunt work and suffered 'minor blemishes as usual with a car of this age"

If I was feeling brave.

Or if I was feeling very brave. This is the one from the barge thread, only few miles away from me.

Pfffft I see your flames and raise you full completely stupid regalia, spoiling an otherwise ok looking motor (and certainly the best this time around!)

This week, I think I'm going to have a Pferrari for 995.





Though, I must say, I am very tempted to spend only 475 - thereby leaving over 500 for weekend frivolities - on this stablemate 2 litre turbo.

[louiebaby]

It must be Friday... I do like the SOTW Saab 900 this week, but I'll have a look and see if I can do better locally...
