The local bargain game

[GestapoWatch]

It was this or a GTV so I went for the bonkers 4.0L big thingy option

O/T but I find it hilarious AutoTrader put your postcode in the URL.

Pretty much gives your location away along with your My Garage if up to date.

That's assuming people have put in their actual postcode.

401 cars for me.

Got bored with looking after 27 pages. Mostly the usual rubbish. The odd thing of interest, an M reg BMW 730, a very leggy X-Type, Volvo V70 2.0T, and an S-reg Primera GT. Nothing stands out though...

To be honest, though, if I was buying a very cheap shed to get me around I would probably buy one of the boring things - Accord, Primera, loads of Focii and Mondeos...

I've changed my mind, I might do this instead for £480 and pocket the remainder. Timeless class, just needs a tidy and could perhaps do with restoring to standard rims to de-drug dealer it.

would be a nice little car if you restored it to its former glory ripping the tat off and putting back some of the trim wouldnt be too hard

Nice.

Oh yeah. Not even sure what it is, but I know it's my choice.

Funny American thing

Hmm, had 33 to choose from including a BMW 728i, Pimera Sport and an Alfa 156, but I would have to go for this as at £795 the only V6 available:


If that 406 was near me I would buy it.

There was a nice looking Puma for £1100 which I'm sure I could negotiate down to £1k

And you picked a boring old Jaguar instead. See, there was a quite nice '99 735 V8 I could have had but this is wayyy more interesting.

I'm sure 300 will be along shortly to vindicate my choice (and perhaps tell me what the hell it is)

On another note, is this the worst car on sale today?

If the bodyworks solid, some scene boy from Edition38 would snap that up.
