New car required

Oh dear. Tell us all what happened lad.

Douglas

Speak to SAAB matt about his starship mondy diesel if its still going. Or maybe he sold it for a pint.

Did SteveH ebay the Primera?

Is Petey M still trying to flog the Mercedes 500 SEL?

Douglas

A sign of the times maybe

I've got a Triumph 1300fwd in need of some TLC that I might let go of for £500. Only if I can get one of the others on the road, or pick up another tax exempt runabout for cheap though.

Unlikely to be your sort of thing, but seriously, classic insurance, no tax to pay, good enthusiast groups, you could do far worse than a small/ medium classic saloon. Check out the classic car club websites, they often have sales and wants pages, and even better, free cars :)

And don't forget me, I've got a lovely old Maestro Van for sale, in remarkably good nick.

Just spotted this, wish I had the money spare:

Northamptonshire Triumph Toledo. 2 door, 1972. 46.000 miles. MOT'd & taxed until October 2004. £375 ono

Not to everyone's liking, but a brilliant car if cash is tight :)

Oh dear. Well i have a Micra for sale.... PLenty of cars about under £500. I'm looking at a Volvo 360 GLT with 9 months MOT, 2 months tax and all the goodies for

I tried and failed due to muppets bidding.... well I do live in Wales ;-)

It's sat on the front lawn at the moment, has to go. Give me £300 and I'll leave in the rather nice Sony CD head unit, too.

MOT 'till Jan 2005. Bargain ;-)

*splutter*

Yeah, I know. But looking at what they're currently being advertised for, that's damned cheap for one!

Bear in mind it's not in bad condition, and there's people selling them with no tax or test, in need of welding and mech work, for 600 plus!

I'm not going to complain if they're going up in value :)

What engine is it? Think insurance may be a stink. And I've yet to experience a nice Sony head unit :D.

You're going from a nice modern Ford Ka, to a £500 shit-box ?

Have you recently been declared bankrupt or something ?

He's keeping well quiet on why he might lose his NCB...

Douglas

It's a 2lt, 16v, single point injection. 121bhp.

At 29, with 5 years NCB, I got insurance down to £220 TPF&T, probably on account of it being a bit of an old man's car.

Wheels on the bottom, wheels on the top, wheels on the bottom, wheels on the top, wheels on the bottom again...
