Cheap car wanted

[chapletown]

After something cheap and cheerful to do my mum for a couple of months until her new car comes in March. Not much in the way of requirements just needs to be relaiable as she'll be using it to go up and down to the royal for hospital apps. Whats out there..? @southsky sunrise you got anything at the min mate?? Thanks

 

[chapletown]

I've been looking something really cheap (i.e less than £500) for about a month now and there's absolutely nothing about.

A mate was talking about selling a 1.0 Corsa. Would definitely be well below £1k, I can ask him if its still available? No MOT on it though the last time I spoke to him.

 

[chapletown]

@NickR yeah if you can find out about this and let me know please mate. Thanks

Hi,
I have a 2000 Polo 6N2 with 61k miles, 5 door with sunroof. It was my brothers, there is a bearing noise in gearbox, oil level is ok, all gears selecting as they should and no clutch slip its been like this for months and could certainly last for many more. He wants £400 otherwise it will become a second car/workhorse

 

[NickR]

@chapletown his wife has decided to hold onto it for a bit longer as a spare car in case the son has to come back from uni to study from home again. Sorry bud.

Ok cheers - I'm supposed to get the M3 back today or tomorrow so once I do I'll give you a shout depending on how much it's going to sting me... Is there MOT on the car?

@Wilseyvr6 you can take me out of the running for the Polo - think I'm going to have to stick with one car for the next few months anyway. Thanks though!

I’m very tempted by the polo for a dog and mtb transportation solution but I don’t really have a spare £400 knocking about wonder if my insurance would let me add a second car

May be a quick fix for someone

I've a pretty nice MG ZT diesel saloon in Trophy Blue with MOT until the end of October, that will be up for sale probably late next week at £1295.
