I am selling my Fiesta - has a patch of rust - but its a great drive, interior is in great condition... engine/gearbox perfect....
I originally bought it to fill a gap for a month, but kept it as its been so good - too many cars on the driveway now so its gotta go!

£500 if interested!

How much profit do you think they make on each one?
Not a lot, I've bought a car from there and part ex'd one at the same time, all they do is give you a low price, cash in the tax (or used to anyway!), add £50 or £100 to the price they paid and put it up for sale. It's pretty easy for a quick sale, and as long as you go in with your eyes open and check the car over there shouldn't be any issues. MajorMantra said:

I'm so, so, ridiculously, sorely, stupidly tempted.http://www.tradecarscleckheaton.co.uk/used-cars/ja...
Positives:
I've always wanted one of these.
It has a V8 engine.
It's a Jaaaaaaaag.
It has awesome high profile comfy tyres.
Mmm, Jaaaag.
Negatives:
It's almost 300 miles away.
So much bork potential.
Hmm.....
Wonderful selection of sheds. Car of choice for me there is the Proton Gen2 with Ford GT stripes! I love the fact that they are not valeted, not touched up, in fact - nothing. I bet the guy makes more money than other local secondhand dealers after all their costs.
Reminds me of my electrician. He did 2 days work for me for £500. Then he expanded. 5 guys, 5 vans, contracts everywhere, working 24/7/365, except no one paid up. So he never had much money and when the money did arrive is went to pay off his working capital. He made more money working privately for a week than expanding.

On his other ads he states £xxx + FULL 12 MONTHS MOT ON PURCHASE. Wonder why he's saying MOT JUST RUN OUT on the Jag?! Big bork?Positives:

I've done just this.
The other day I bought a 2000 V Polo 1.4 L 5 door with 116k on the clock for £200.
MOT'd till Jan.
New tyres on the front.
Not the best condition but hopefully will see me alright for a while...

I'll need a car for a daily fifty mile round trip so not sure if something that cheap would work.

£150 "PX considered"
Who the fk trades up to a £150 car?
Could simply be an much used pro-forma advert where just the details are changed without thoughts about how it reads or logic.£150 "PX considered"
Who the fk trades up to a £150 car?
There again, numerous folks who have a sudden and big change in their financial circumstances need to trade down, not up. Roller owner on hard times needs sub £500 transport sharpish and a few thousand quid balance from trading down. Far from unknown.
Back on topic. Almost any type or make of car can be cheap and functional if you search and know where to look and what to look out for.
