£200 challenge

[matt173407]

It may take me a bit to decide and find a new car so potentially i need a short termer!

my requriements must be at lease 6 months tax and mot , maybe something in brown with beige interior with a hint of wood trim, ideally nothing too chaved although i would settle with something relativley offensive.

only other requirement it must not have the word C**T engraved in large letters on the bonnet if possible as this did cause me a bit of trouble on my last loaner!

Can this be done for £200 ?

TBH only a look in gumtree or the local free ads is going to answer this question for you personally, but yes it's possible (a mate just picked up a M reg Cavi in great nick for £150).

thats not a bad idea the o/h will hate it with a passion that could be a winner

although i have just spotted this

Cannot see £200 being an issue

Any car with decent ticket on it is worth £300 IMO.

If it has 6 months tax then that alone is worth between £60-120 on its own.

So yes it's possible, but it won't be the norm these days...

it would only be to last me a month

the a team van though i can see my boss's face if i turned up in that

I bought a '90 c900 last year for £200 as a parts car for my t16s, it was to good to break so I started driving it and 12 months/20k later its still going great!!

Should be doable. I'd probably spend just a touch more though and be looking for a sheddy barge that I could sell on afterwards - something like a Vauxhall Omega or Rover 800

This is actually quite nice http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1804247.htm
