Best of the Bargain Basement Vol. 2

I'm not sure even the VW fan boys would have spaffed themselves over a 252k mile passat, no matter how much vinyl I stuck on it!
In any event it actually sold yesterday. Just when I was getting so peeved I'd have taken scrap value 2 eastern European lads turned up and paid £350 for it. Taking the £50 I paid for it, the MOT, and insurance admin costs means a nice little profit. I've never made a profit on a car before!

always good to do that- excellentIn any event it actually sold yesterday. Just when I was getting so peeved I'd have taken scrap value 2 eastern European lads turned up and paid £350 for it.

Well the delivery of the 205 to Aberdeen went without a hitch. It was a bit of a revellation.
I'd forgotton just how comfortable old small french cars could be!
I enjoyed it so much I made a quick video extolling its virtues- they're definately in potential bargain territory

Rust on door bottoms, rear subframe bushes and snapped springs.
Oh and I just happen to have a 2.5v6 mondeo with only 87000 on I need to sell in a couple of weeks.
Could be interested - need a stop gap shed until an appealing lease comes along once my company car goes back.Oh and I just happen to have a 2.5v6 mondeo with only 87000 on I need to sell in a couple of weeks.

I'm going to see a mk3 Mondeo tomorrow for <£500. Its a petrol and has done 120k miles but it has full service history. Has anyone got any tips of what to look out for?
They're pretty solid cars. The only issue I had with my 1.8 petrol was the EGR valve (<£100 IIRC). Can't beat them for the money!Looks like fun for very little for the summer.

Just picked up a Peugeot 106 diesel. 2000/X, dealer part-ex, just under 100k on the clock, MoT to the end of October. Exhaust blow on the downpipe, will need a windscreen for the next MoT, dents and scrapes everywhere and the driver's seat is falling to bits. But a decent service history including a new clutch last year, and the price - £82!

Tatty around the edges, but that's my favourite sort of car, no worries about car park dings etc.
The rest should be fairly bomb-proof!

That is bonkers value. I'd go so far as to say it's low mileage too! The rest should be fairly bomb-proof!
