[PandaSelecta]

Instead of filling up that Volvo thread with details of your cheap cars, what about filling this thread instead ;D

Post up details of the cheapest cars you have bought, and pictures if you have them

Heres mine...

1990 Nissan Micra in a green metallic, with decent mot and tax - £80

1993 Ford Mondeo estate, one of the earliest with mot and 8 months tax, and came with half a tank of petrol - £212

I've a Polo that was given to me by a colleague of my wife when she emigrated, which I sold to a mate for €100, but his son didn't want it, so it sat for a while before I borrowed it back.

[incarsolutions]

My Herald which is my daily driver at the moment was free, and its done me 2 years of happy motoring since.

Just about to be given an Astra aswell on Saturday. Other than the fact its an Astra I have no other clues as to what its like. Age? Mot? Tax? Who knows. Personally I'm hoping for a mk1 or 2. Fingers crossed eh?

This one cost me $20 Australian. And that was only for the Celica gearbox that the guy wanted to get rid of too. I was like this --> ;D

[kerrly]

My best efforts are probably:

£90 for a 1989 Passat estate GT 16v with 11months MOT - sold for £500
£106 for a mk1 golf 1.1 that needed nothing for a MOT -sold for £500
£109 for a mk2 Golf GTI - donor car
£143 for a 2000 Citroen Xsara VTR with 9months MOT 6 months tax - my new daily. Although the figure is up £90 as the exhaust fell apart 3 days after I collected the car....grrrrr

I'm not very good at getting cheap car's as when they were cheap I didnt change cars very often.

Bought a Ford Orion & Mini (when I was 14) non runners, never saw the road £50 each.

2001 Caddy van £250, ran but didnt drive, fixed it, ran it, sold for £1200 lol.

cheapest car with T&T is my Polo, 2000 W plate £470 but needed some work doing so owes me £900 now but that includes doing stuff that didnt need doing.

Best value car I ever bought was my Suzuki Rascal, Paid £400 for it with 12 months MOT, stuck 1 years tax on it (£125) replaced the battery £20, bought a brand new 8x4 roof rack for 99p. Used it for 11 months while renovating my house, so saved me about £1500 in skips and delivery charges. Sold it in 24hrs on ebay for £475 with 1 month T&T on it.
