Super cheap snotty daily

[10mpg]

Ok i'm looking for a very small petrol or smaller derv..

cheap as possible cosmetic condition COMPLETELY irrelivent..

possible choices

Cinquecento or Sciecento (sporting would be nice)
Ka
Small fiesta
Micra
small civic
corsa
Nova
Ka
Metro

you get the picture...

would also consider a larger derv like a B3 passat or golf TD..

'might consider' a frenchy but not keen really

[paul6266]

there is a nice red metro on here....fairly cheap too....easy to work on iswell with a set of FREE alloys...well worth a look

[10mpg]

Thanks for that, metro is pretty far down the list tbh, and that ones towards the upper end of what I want to spend, but I'll keep it in mind..

looking at derv 405's at the mo

Well, it seems a shame to start a new thread that's almost word for word identical, but I'm also after exactly this^. Ideally next monday or tuesday. So anything too far north, or too french, 2nd dibs please!

DAF of course I'm not biased in any way.

Gladys cost me £500 £100 for MOT and returns on average 46mpg. Its different its green and its just awesome

Looks tidy, but to large an engine for me really i'm looking for uber frugality, just doing my tax return I worked out I spent nearly 6k on fuel last year in just my car, if I look back to when I had a B3 Td passat as a daily it was less than half that...

Also looking now at xantia TD's anything really as long as it works and is good on the gogo juice..

I'd like something retro but the choice is limited, I'd love another Mini or and Imp Fiat 600 or summat like that but most are out of budget

Saxo? Can be had silly cheap on ebay.. And the misses one (yes the bright yellow one) Isnt too bad to drive... Its actually pretty nice.. Also amazing on fuel considering she doesnt hang around... I used to bad mouth them as i had an "expierience" driving a mates.. But id go as far as actively looking to buy one if i needed a car..

Can you define 'super cheap' (to buy) please?

Have a Passat TDi S (55mpg) and should be getting a Vectra 1.7TD shortly. The Vectra is an early ('N' reg) mingebag spec model with the rather fantastic Isuzu engine. Not a great deal of MOT (will have a poke round to see what it wants) but it runs ace and will be very cheap.

£500 absolute tops, would prefer to spend half that and have a few jobs to do as being a grease monkey i get parts for trade and have somewhere nice and warm to work!

Yup very tempted by this, I know it's very cheap, but i'm slightly worried by how close the MOT is, almost certainly needs a set of front arms if the tracking feels out, not a problem as they are cheap and easy to fit, but worried by what else could be up with it...

[10mpg]

Just been looking at Kia prides... sooooo cheap.....

would quite like a Charade actually like the look of them

[theblackbox]

i have a fiat cinquecento 899 for sale in the budget motoring section no mot or tax though but very cheap

[10mpg]

i'm not sure but I think the standard 900 might be a bit too slow I did have a sporting and that was great fun, also sorry not trying to be rude at all but looking at the others on ebay and the local paper i don't think it's all that cheap with no tax or mot/been standing/check engine light on ect

[shorty87]

I can pop the fiesta down to the garage for a pre mot going over if you'd like, will tell me what it'll need for the next mot?

[theheap]

I have a mk6 escort 1.8 zetec, mot 2/2/2011 tax 28/2/2011. plenty of new parts in recent months and full history and nearly all the mots. 4 door in white rough round the edges but ubber reliable £250

[10mpg]

BUMP...

gonna resort to one of the ebay snotters soon, AX or Cinq most likely, though there's 405 in camo paint that takes my fancy!

Shorty that'd be great if it doesn't need to much (preferably welding if anything as that's free!) I could be very interested..

Sorry theheap to big an engine for me...
