Complete on my house refurb within a week, if only that Volvo was closer! 324 miles is a bit too far to go for a £250 barge...

Do it - get some super mega cheap split train ticket and make sure you take your AA card... wink

Good lump of motor-veer-hickle.

Might just breach thread budget... not by much, I'd wager.

Surely that'll sell for at least £2k
£1,318.

Nice car for the money. Guess it was just not fast or lairy enough to appeal to the S4 wannabes, and too thirsty and complex for most cheap car buyers.

Cheap car in my eyes - although I feel the poster above me might be correct

How do you buggers do it? smile

Chap at work just bought a really nice BMW e36 2.5 litre convertible for £600. It's a nice car.

I'm thinking of something cheap, but knowing my luck it would be a money pit.

Awwwh, no bum warmers

What's the bet that the housing estate the pictures were taken in, is not where the car is being sold from.

I picked my niece up from school recently. There was a woman taking photos of her Suzuki Swift outside one of the old school buildings which has beautiful box hedges around it.

I laughed and explained to my niece what she was doing. My niece thought it was simply strange

Find a bargain, ask its pitfalls here, go and view with eyes open and cash in pocket. Be prepared to walk away.

I'll issue a retraction on that statement then, or you can take it as a compliment!

My 19 month old daughter has informed me that daddy needs something with more cylinders than the 4 he currently has. wink

With 1 months MOT, but will 'fly through' and not even his car for sale.... google the telephone number and it comes up with rather a lot of car sales.

Smells like a dealer trying to offload a heap.

A MK4 Astra 1.6 SXI with 10 months MOT for £350 (or less - it looks as though the seller is negotiable).

Anyone got any advice on what to look for on Nissan Almeras? A friend of mine is looking at buying one as a first car for her daughter and asked me to go and look at it with her. It's a 54-plate 1.5S with 70K on the clock. Looks fine from the photos and has 10 months ticket which it passed with only one advisory for a windscreen chip. Also claimed to have FSH. Guy wants £425.

I bought my mum a car as her Audi is nearing death. Still runs but not worth fixing.

A 2004 206 Gti 138bhp, 80k miles, 11.5 mot and last year a recon gearbox, clutch and timing belt. Runs well just a dent in front wing and tyres a bit mix and match. Will pick up a wing and hopefully set of tyres cheaply.

All for £465
