Miniscule budget

[macp]

Dear all

Ive got a max budget of £600 am I likely to get anything interesting for this miniscule amount ?

[EvoBarry]

Could probably get a few lapdances...

My best mates mum bought a Mk3 Golf Gti about a year ago for £600. It has about 140,000 miles on the clock but nothing's gone wrong with it so far and it's turning out to be a great little car.

That or a quantity of colombian marching powder

Like that needs a little work but could be fun.

were you after something merely to use as a toy and to show boat or something that is practical?

You could easily get a reasonable 4th gen Honda Prelude on that budget - even a higher-end BB1 or BB4 (2.2 VTEC models, some with cruise control, 4wheel steering, folding mirrors, etc etc).

I paid £165 for a 2.0 base model that's done 200,000 and it's tight as a drum - plenty of rust on it but sailed through it's MOT first time needing nothing but a new drivers seat belt - they really are that reliable. The pop up arial even still works.

I bought this a couple of months back for £600, so it is possible to get something fun for a small budget. Not very practical though!

What about a MK1 MR2? Are they down that low these days?

Just a 2nd car which I will use to get to work in when the whether is crap.

If it wasnt in Scotland I would be very tempted

Ah, sorry, just looked on the PH classifieds and they seem to be over 1k.

Superb thanks but possibly outside of my budget

[petrolsniffer]

A tidy 205 xs is within your grasp I don't know if you'd call it intresting?

[theironduke]

I've seen the odd MX5 at this price, with tax and ticket too!

saab 900 turbo

In the classifieds at £600 or under:









Go on, get wafting, you know you want to!

I should imagine that if he has £600 to spend then a fuel drinking monster would not be ideal....
