Cheap cars are extinct... - THE_Liam - 29-10-2012
Can't be arsed MOTing the beigemobile so I've been surfing various autoshite hunting grounds like eGay, Autotrader, Pistonheads, Gumtree, Retro Rides for some more old, French crap, and there's hardly anything there...
Like seriously, hardly anything! After spending a few hours trawling through all the above, there's hardly anything under a grand! Got a few prospects, a TD 405, a dodgy looking 1.4 BX and a tidy, low miles Saxo VTR but besides that I'm drawing a blank...
WHO TOOK ALL THE CHEAP CARS! Dum-Dum, I'm looking at you...
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - 4WayDiablo - 29-10-2012
TD 405.....done
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - bigcheez2k3 - 29-10-2012
I got a 406 HDi for £350 last month. It's a piece of shit but it stops and goes.
Want to buy it?
Saw a few cheap ones on eBay a few months ago too, nearly bought a Volvo estate that ended at £311.
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - Dum-Dum - 29-10-2012
I got my new one for £450 and theres a TD sedan on AT for £350

RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - 306carter - 29-10-2012
There's a xantia td in Salford on eBay for £430 buy it now 6 months test 4 months road rent.
Or a e300d in Leeds for £1600. Bit pricey but still a beast of a veg bus.

It's in Oldham mate. Tell you what though, if I did buy it I'd need a lift back to Oldham on Saturday or Sunday to collect it, fancy doing the honours for diesel money and some beer tokens? Some great roads over the pennines...
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - MrsMidnight - 30-10-2012
I have a 106 for sale? Could drop something epic in it lol
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - kernow_joe - 30-10-2012
I drive a £200 gti6 (when its back on the road) so I beg to differ, they are around
Cheap cars are extinct... - kentiiboii - 30-10-2012
I drive a corsa £250 and just bought a dturbo for £300
Cheap cars are extinct... - THE_Liam - 30-10-2012
I suppose what I mean is there isn't the choice there used to be. Used to be car sales that had 40-50 cars under a grand...
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - Toms306 - 30-10-2012
You mean they're endangered rather than extinct Liam.
Cheap cars are extinct... - kentiiboii - 30-10-2012
Haha Tom!!! But yeah i know what you mean liam there's nothing. My first car was £100 t&t. Second was £250 t&t then third was £175 t&t. We spent ages finding a cheap car now and I've got a corsa which is half the car my others were for £250 with less t&t. My new dturbo was £300 but its battered mot till next year but no tax.

you have the Scrappage scheme to thank for this liam, a lot of good motors were scrapped!

You ever seen the list of cars that were scrapped?!?! Rover SD1s, Minis, hundreds of mk3/mk4 escorts...
RE: Cheap cars are extinct... - samass - 30-10-2012
What pains me more is the fields and fields of cars not scrapped, and unable to be sold on
