I have a cunning plan....
Following on from the recent "bangernomics" threads, would it be possible to have a sub £500 section in the classifieds?
Whenever someone goes into GG and asks about where they can pick up a really cheap/temporary car, someone always says "Go to autotrader/Ebay/gumtree and put in less than £500".

Realistically most people looking at this price point aren't bothered about the exact car, and it saves them having to go:
What car may be cheap? ->Micra->Goes to look at Micras->what other cars may be cheap?->Escort->Goes to look at ford escorts, etc, etc.

What do you guys think?

Can you not search for a price range?

Yes, but as I understand it, only within a certain vehicle group. For example you have to look for BMW 3-series under £500, then you have to look at Fiestas under £500, then corsas under £500, etc.
This would be like a bargain bucket. One category for "all cars under £500".

Crofty, it can be done already!

One this page:

In the prices from boxes at the top just put 0 to 500 and you get this:
