The Great "I need a cheap car now" Competition Thread (Bit of Fun)

[pie]

Right, I have seen this on another Forum and it bought up some great cars.


Scenario - You need a car for work tomorrow and you have £1000 to spend and it must be no more than 10 miles away from your address

Rules...

1, Go to the Auto Trader website

Auto http://www.autotrader.co.uk/cars/selling?atcidb=afc-OLA024&awc=3693_1330192640_4ab05d5d4ca07283537957ae51a7e0 f4

2, Search for ANY GM car (Vauxhall, Opel, Saab etc)
3, Select Max price of £1000
4, Max distance of 10 miles away from your post code;

Post up a picture / link of your choice of car. Any cash left over can be used for Beers and whores!

Enjoy.

There were only 6 cars and 3 of them were Corsa's! But after hard deliberation I finally went for the 1998 Corsa Sport 1.6. 93,000 miles and only £650. Got £300 left to tax it at the end of March and maybe some nice alloys and suspension lol

Just a note.
If you're posting a Autotrader link, delete everything after the item number.
It will not post your postcode then.
The link for the Omega posted above is only.

[Spudly]

Well there is no pic on the advert i found, but six miles from my postcode there is an N reg cavalier 1.8 L saloon, for £275!!


Which means my participation in this game is limited as i could go buy the car, but i wouldnt be getting to work tomorrow though as after spending £725 on beers, id be hungover for a month lol

[Connor]

GM cars are g4y, most your gonna get is an omega, vectra or a corsa which are all boring! Think this should be open to all manufactures, then you will see some right peaches!

[Sturge]

There isn't a single car under £1000 within 10 mile of here and only one under 2k lol

Within 20 miles I'd get a Toyota Avensis with 5 quid left over and that's my lot! Cumbria sucks!

[Sturge]

:wisewood: found me a GM car under a grand!

Within 60 miles I have the choice of a 1.4 Tigra at £850 or a 2.2DTi Frontera for £999 :roll:

Frontera it is. Not sure £1 will get me all the way to collect it though lol

[mowgli]

the best car in the category round near me is a bright yellow puma for £400

[L14MNP]

Spend your grand wisely, and look away from GM IMO.

[Hayley]

Only 7 cars came back from my search lol

But I think my choice would be this one

http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=1940256957

R reg 2.0L 9-5 £400!!:eek:

[mowgli]

i just searched all cars in a 10 mile radius under a grand....

sod just picking gm if you want cheap wheels.......just cos we can mend them slightly better than other cars is not a good enough reason to buy..

1998 Saab 9-5 2.3t 4dr Auto Saloon


4 Door Saloon, Green, Petrol, Automatic. MOT until July 2012, Tax until end June 2012. Full MOT history since 2003. Original Service Log book. This car is in excellent condition - and drives superbly. The engine and gearbox are both very smooth. The interior is barely worn - seats etc in very good condition. There is a small patch (10cm) on the bonnet where the top layer of paint has peeled revealing the primer - it is very minor - there is no rust. I've owned this car for 6 months - I had a brief spell out of London and needed transport - I'm back living and working in London and my flat doesn't have parking so looking to sell. £750 OVNO. £750
