How much can you spend on a not-that-nice car?

I did`nt know they still sold the Espace?! Shows how many they don`t sell.

Ladies and Gentlemen, behold my German beauty. It`s a 116i 3-dr Automatic with no air-con or alloys. BUT, it does have every other option I could have - no navgation though as does`nt let you spec it.

NO AIR CON !!!!!! How much would that be worth after say 3 years and 60k miles.....

[Rob.]

About 24p?

How`s this for a new Panamera: £125,396.

[Negative Creep]

Ok, beat this: Mercedes A Class 150 (smallest engine there is), top spec with every possible option checked........








£26,044 excluding OTR!

[Alfachick]

Vauxhall vectra for £23,283.
Not a bad effort I think, considering it's going to be replaced by a new model shortly. Also they are wk to drive.

You're not trying - just did a 1.9 Diesel Vectra Estate and got up to over £31k.

A similar spec A Class was on Top Gear a few years ago, when May and Hammond did the scooter taxi driver thing, one of May's fares had a £25k A Class!

Over 76 grand for an orange diesel Cayenne...

my god, i think that's the most hideous one yet. I would give 76 rand to not have to travel in that

That's only about £5.55.

[anonymous-user]

I've managed to get a double cab Nissan Navara up to 46k, am just trying to get photos uploaded now

to be fair, that's probably a more accurate figure!

[james_tigerwoods]

I've done this a few times myself and always managed to get a 116 spec'd high for daft money...

Does anyone really buy a car this way?

I give you the Ssangyong Rexton RLine at a whopping 29,995 pounds


What a heap

(Hi btw)

Nice first post

Anyone who spends £30k on that motorised skip needs their head looking at, I'd rather have the green steel-wheeled 116d posted earlier

That is not the one that is 30k

Surely you've just weighted it down - it's never going to get going with all that... Seatbelts in the back indeed...
