This, advertised for £995-



or this for £750-



There was an E36 318 a mile away from me for £800, so I wouldn't even have to muck about with the bus. But the above two are a bit more interesting.

260E, 96k, £800 and job jobbed.



Also spotted a Galant V6 for £700 but it looked at my wallet with lecherous intent.

That is an amazing amount of car for £850!

I like the quote in your profile by the way 'I'd always pay for fuel rather than depreciation'. Very true
