Right guys bit of friday fun.

The competition is to find a car in the classified that you think represents the most value for money.

Be it in the performance stakes i.e. bhp per pound or for sheer luxury i.e. gadgets and kitted up to the hilt.

obviously on the assumption that it will not need any money spending on it to bring it up to scratch it should tick all the boxes as is.

Let the battle commence!

It does need tax however. Hard to beat for performance per pound.

ad says said:
The gearbox has a problem where it can be hard to engage 5th and reverse, however, I have been informed that this is a problem with the part of the gearbox that keeps the alignment steady and should be an easy fix for somebody with a reasonable knowledge of gearboxes. Alternatively, I have seen secondhand gearboxes selling online for (sometimes considerably) less than £250 ...
PH - never let the OP get in the way of your point.

It isn't the selling price but a misleading advert that sounds good none the less!

5th and reverse are only hard to engage, not impossible. They are very over-rated gears anyway tongue out
