Does anybody know of any cheap car dealerships in/near aberdeen? I can't seem to find anywhere with vehicles under £1500. I ask as I've been having rotten luck searching for a sheddy estate, and every time I arrange a viewing to see a private car It gets sold ( Or the seller decides to keep it) before I have a chance to see the vehicle. frown
I still plan on looking at private sales, but I need a new car before the 1st of August as thats when my insurance renewal is due.
Cheers for any help received.

Bugger all suitable in aberdeen though frown I've set up a daily alert with them.
I do have some silly criteria for the car though e.g. under 100,000 miles, would prefer petrol rather than manual.
The mileage isn't my choice as such, It's more that my parents help support me whiles i'm stil at uni, and if something goes massively wrong they'll have to help out. Hence they get a say smile

Yeah, I have lots of climbing st, and often car share on outdoor weekends, so when it's my turn to drive it's usually 5 up with lots of trad gear, and/or tents, or bouldering mats. I'd prefer a petrol as I don't fancy to many mahoosive surprise bills that can often crop up on 'old modern' diesels. Unfortuantely I'd also like performance, and economy, and reliablilty on the cheap. I do know however that is impossible, so I may have to skimp on performance due to the mileage I do frown

Avoid dealers at that money, think what they paid for them, check the usual places and look for cherished old private cars..
