Cheap Run around required ****SORTED NOW****

Post by Eddie555 » Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:13 pm

Has anyone got a cheap car they are thinking of selling.
I’m waiting for a new build and need a cheapo to get to work and back for 4-5 months.

How cheap Eddie? R26’s are cheap and fun, so is the RS175 diesel varient. Would be hard pushed to find anything keeper that’s still fun I think.

You’d get one of the little RenaultSports for a few k. At least you can still enjoy it.

Sorry Eddie it’s not for sale was only saying how cheap and reliable they are. I reversed into a trailer the other day and it never even scratched it. Amazing cars!! Take a nosey through gumtree & Ebay for them £1500 should get you a decent one

6 miles to truck park in rush hour normally takes 1/2 hour. Max speed 20 mph.

Ah ha. Lightbulb moment. Probs be quicker if I get a pedal bike.

Any old Ford like a mondeo. Cheap to fix and you can buy parts from Woolworths.

PS my advice may be a little out of date.
