Sheddiest of Sheddy sheds

Snottiest of snotters... bangiest of bangers

I know its not a fast car, I know it'll handle like a badly set jelly, I know it won't be fun.

But I need a set of wheels... I can afford to walk in and pay cash... and I can insure it for a pittance...

How reliable will it be, where is it prone to rust and what else should I look out for?

Just buy it leafy.

MOT to next July.

And best of all you can walk the three miles to go and pick it up

I am going to love this thread, having had 'shedmeister' moniker bestowed on me. Good subject.

[leafspring]

I always buy on impulse and it never works out, I was hoping to be put off

Looks like I'm going for a walk...

[J4CKO]

Hmm, thats making me want a curry.

[leafspring]

I'm picking it up tomorrow

19 years old, couple of dents, little rust... 88,000 miles, started on the button, plenty of tax and MOT... its a car nothing more. £295 bargain.

Think that's a good buy M

Motoring cardboard but should run for a good while yet........I bought a K11 Micra Auto for £200 5 months ago and 2k miles on (it's the third car) it's been fine bar some rear pads........

That is a bargain.

Can't see pics, but at that price "What's the worst that could happen?"
It would brake for more!!

[leafspring]

Just paid for the insurance so I can pick it up @ 10/11am tomorrow.

That is premier league shedding. I spent £800 on my daily jap which is a fortune compared with this.

It requires determination and courage this lark... so we'll played.

You want to hear brave... I'm driving it from Kent to Scotland in October

[williredale]

At that money there's not much you could lose. If it expires in a cloud of steam you could strip off a few choice bits and weigh the shell in for the same sort of money.

I'm doing 600 plus miles a week in a £350 shed

[leafspring]

The Skoda or the Kia?


The fecking insurance was £490... my fault for spending 5 years as a named driver without earning any NCB and having to pay monthly

After my most recent £350 purchase I'm left wondering why I've been spending so much on buying cars these last few years.
