I have a Laguna dCi 130 with 230k and counting. Apart from the crank sensor and routine belt changes, engine is all original.

Renault will probably want to put that in a museum!

Never would I spend £750 on that - it'll be a dog of a car, tempted to go barge budget and get a CL500 (say £2000-2,500)

Lets see

Or a cheap skoda £250 lol

So I didn't do the Bargain Basement again. I spent 2K and I purchased a brand of car from the group I vowed I would never buy again, (VAG)..







Got a 2004 Audi A4 B6 Cabriolet 1.8T Sport with 115K F.A.S.H. including Cambelt and Water Pump done December 2016 by Audi.

It wants for nothing, has 3 keepers, Goodyear tyres all round and a very well cared for car. Should do for a few years and the smaller engine will allow me to save for when I eventually one day buy my W204 C63.

Very clean with not a single blemish.

I guess after 8.5 years of automatic CLKs it's good to get into a manual.

Bargain !

Yes, very good indeed.

Approx 3 years ago i got a '99 9-5 Aero with approx 150k for £600, great car. Sold for £800 a few months later.

This has to be a cracking car for someone, surely?

2003 Skoda Superb 2.8 V6, 113k, £1000

Good choice was this a eBay or Gumtree sale?

Get the sump dropped to check the oil pickup isn't gunked up.

Was actually a private sale on Autotrader.

This looks like it might have potential. Description is very light.

The MOT history doesn't make for very good reading.

I guess there's a reason it's so cheap.

[Jimmy Recard]

Is there a car built by a Western firm in the 21st century that rusts worse than those?

Great little cars, but they really dissolve
