The time has come to chop in the shed for another shed. We need a bigger shed as we are due another sproglette in April.

Currently have a Fiat Seicento Sporting and MOT due this month so will get it through and replace it.

Not much criteria:
- 4/5 door
- Able to hold 2 car seats
- Relatively cheap on insurance (21 yr old 3 yrs NCB)
- Relatively good on fuel (Partner will use for home to home care work)
- Can run on Deisel/Petrol/LPG/Air/Water/Cats piss etc

Something unusual could be fun biggrin

Throw em at me PH!

Pretty much everything's bigger than what you've got.

I'd be looking for something huge as their prices tend to drop the lowest vs what you get (size, quality) due to preceived running costs.


But at the end of the day, it's not worth travelling far for a £500 car so you'll be limited to what's around - check autotrader, gumtree, PH, ebay, supermarkets, auctions, cars on the road with "for sale", ask everyone and maybe ring garages if there's any trade ins they'd like to get shot of for what they paid.

SEAT Toledo - take your pick from a 2.3 V5 or a (fairly high mileage) 1.9 TDi 110.

For £500? Really? Will have a look...

Our main car is a Bora 1.9Tdi PD130 and engine is pretty bombproof...

Few about with LPG. Insurance, go old school, go classic. Leather, air con, 4 doors, sproglette cosy.



RWD for you when solo.

Yes on the V5, they're out there. Maybe pushing it a bit for a TDi.

BMW 316i - £499

May need a wheel bearing and drivers side window which are relatively easy fixes...

Thoughts?
