Get on ebay. List by auctions only, distance of 20 miles from your location with a max price of your budget, and see what fits roughly into your criteria. if you are prepared to take a risk on a car you haven't seen then list by ending soonest and bid on anything that takes your fancy.
For added fun do it on a mobile app, as mine misses off the condition details section. So what seems a bargain turns out to be a shed.
Generally I agree with you, but I've had some awesome adventures going miles and miles to collect cars. My 9-3 I caught a 3.5 hour train to Cardiff to go collect and drive back that day!Get on ebay.

Caught a four hour train up to Preston, waited half an hour to be picked up to be driven to Fleetwood, bought my bmw, drove back to Coventry and then drove down to Dorset in one day.... It only overheated 5 times 
was great fun though.egor110 said:

Exactly, you get 8 or 9 months of motoring and then most of your money back from scrapping it. Heck, you might even get it all back selling on Ebay.Mot until august, sill repaired for last mot,rust on rear arch £350.

wincanton, it was on the facebook page cars for sale somerset.
Link for the lazy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/115762705206758/se...Would be a nice summer toy for someone with space to store over the winter (or repair the roof). Shame it's so far!
