World of fail waiting to happen, but for 750, what's not to love.

Playing this game in Germany is rubbish. 1000 gets you nothing interesting at all - in my area I have the choice of the following, using www.mobile.de

1992 Astra estate - 194,000 km - 500
1995 Polo - 198,000 km - 699
1997 Polo - 149,000 km - 750
1998 1.6 Vectra estate - 220,000 km - 750
1997 1.6 Vectra hatchback - 190,000 km - 899
1996 1.4 Corsa - 165,000 km - 900

Out of all of those, the estate Vectra would be the one I'd pick, I guess *shrugs*

I'd have to have a good shufty around it, but I'm in a gambling mood today, so I'll pick the following over a nice sensible low mileage Focus 2.0 Ghia or Mondeo Mk3 1.8 LX.

I suspect I may regret this.

Here's how to play:

- Go to Autotrader
- click 'more options'
- Put your postcode in
- set maximum price to 'up to 1,000'
- set Distance to - within 10 miles
I'm guessing the 911 Carrera S advertised for 850 when I did it wasn't entirely kosha wink so...

Quite surprised you can get a recent-generation Celica for under a grand: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...

That has to be contrary to some Human Rights legislation, or something?

Bloody well done, mate! That's a stonking bargain. I'd have expected another 100k on the clock to drag it down to that price.

It's not even up in the rainy, rusty North, either.
