Best of the Bargain Basement Vol. 2

Theres this on a facebook group im on:


Looks very nice, was going to look at it to replace the dodgy 9-5 i bought. (looks like its turbo, not rings or head though, so it can stay!)

My next car is going to be a 9-5 Aero HOT.

The 9-3 is going in for an MOT today and depending on the severity of its failure I could be needing that 9-5 sooner rather than later...

Acknowledging that you can't see much, that looks pretty good. I'm a big fan of the 9-5 estate.

You could try knocking this down to £1k


And this one looks a little too good to be true

I think it probably will be! (Too good to be true)

The Sat Nav unit is a completely different car....

When were the belts changed? Its a £7-800 job...

Nice cars though :-)

Looks great but not too good to be true.

I think it looks a decent buy. These aren't expensive cars any more. I loved my 1.8T MG ZT saloon, great cars.

That is fantastic! Would have to throw a VVC in there (ruining the time warp credentials) but would have huge fun for years to come!

it would wear off,, may sound like a good idea but they are old dated ste.

I'd drive that Metro!
10.7 seconds 0-60 according to Autotrader. Sounds actually quite quick for an automatic 1.4

Perhaps it's a misprint - 10.7 sec 0-6 seems more likely

Did 13k last year, advisories only for front tyres and front discs. Might be worth a punt!

Get yourself a V8 estate - you deserve it !

I'm having trouble getting rid of my MG ZT for £300.
I don't think £977 is a stonking bargain. Lovely colour though

Ooooh, that’s quite tempting, and worrying close to home!

A shoddy probably rusty 20 year old V8 Mercedes with undisclosed mileage ... what could go wrong!

206,000 miles!

Just spotted this and if I had not just bought an S type it would be mine.

Would have to halve that number before I’d go near that with no mot!
