When it comes to cars, everyone wants a bargain. And with cars getting more reliable, more durable and more rot-free than ever they have been, paying pocket money for an older machine need not be a total restoration job. In other words, cars have never been so cheap.
So in the spirit of aiming for fun, low-cost motoring, here's a new feature which we plan to make a regular Friday slot. We've trawled the depths of Auto Trader to find a bargain for £500.
To start with, here's an ad from a car dealer, Deville Car Sales, near Swindon:
