The local bargain game

Want!

There's also a decent looking 1995 Mk1 MX5 1.8, complete with hardtop (that's got to be worth a few hundred quid on its own). Only 90k miles for £995

To the Maestro? It's the only one on Autotrader at the moment...

There are only 2 silver 1.8 MX5's on Autotrader for less than a grand so that isn't too hard to find either.

Links would reveal my postcode so prefer not to post those here...

Incorrect. She has a broken leg in a pink plaster cast which is bent at the knee

No need for this one, but you can always type in a false postcode - the first half and then "1AA" normally provides a valid search.

If you're concerned about this (I am!) then just trim the link. If you copy a standard AT link it looks like this:

However, you can get rid of the following:

You must be very close to me then. It's only 8 miles from me.

And do Puma's with no rust still exist?

Wow - I've not seen one of these for a long time. It's only done 44k miles as well, looks immaculate and comes with a wad of service history and all the tax discs and MOT certificates!

Anyone taking the plunge? It's 190 friggin miles away from me

[Paraicj]

I'm in London, so shortened it to 1 mile to cut down on the over 700 cars available within 10 miles for a grand!

A few nice ones, this stands out for a mere £890 with 6mths Tax and 3mths MOT.

It's tempting, as it's just down the road. But what would I do with a Maestro??

Crush it.

Not because it's typical of PH. This is the best I could find. Not a single BMW with more than a 1.8l engine (for example) and not a single interesting car whatsoever.

[carlove]

Not that great at the moment, this looks about the best though.
