urpert Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm a bit suspicious that this one would be a right old money pit after the first week of ownership was over though.It has a sticker from the garage at the end of the road where I grew up, so I could forgive it a thing or two. (It was a BL garage in those days though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloth in a bowl Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ladies and gentlemen round up for the bargain of the week (possibly excepting that Volvo 480).It's a mk1 Laguna with Tax and long MoT, advertised at £225, go wave £200 in notes under the owners nose and drive away happy. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/laguna-16-16v-mot-july-2015-tax-oct/1075557070 Craig the Princess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 So many great cars! I was half on the lookout for a 1.7 ashtray, quite like the mk3's. R they veg happy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_Rocket Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 They are, Bek. The one above has the GM engine though- I'd go for one with an Isuzu lump (generally in the better spec cars). I have one on the fleet and it always does 55mpg on the smelly stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Certain cars seem to attract sod all money, I'd suggest currently that older Fiestas and Clios for example, are available mostly for peanuts now, along with Mk3 Astras and Escorts. Another way to (usually) score a cheap one is for going for an unfashionable engine, for example a 1.6 in an Astra or Escort as the tax is more expensive and probably the insurance too.

Tetleysmooth Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I wouldn't mind betting this could be had for around the 200 quid mark.What d'you reckon to the intermittant cutting out fault? I say the fuel pump going the way of the pear,If I didn't have my V70, I'd be all over this. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=212194 If anyone's interested, I can contact the seller on your behalf.

Vince70 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Does this count as I paid £225 for it.It's in lovely condition and came with tax and test till January and over half a tank of juice and 4 new tyres.The reason it was cheap was it was running lumpy but I disconnected the MAF and it now runs a dream.I'm waiting for a new MAF to arrive and the part was only £14 it's also only done 57000 miles. The old girl also has a very good spec being one of the last B5s with an SE trim so has all the toys such as cruise control and a decent stereo, climate control etc which all work and the seats etc are in fantastic condition.So I'm treating it during the week to a good clean inside and a full service before I go back to work. It was going to be a donor car for my old A4 to retro fit some toys in but that will now be staying as a povo spec car also that is also like new and low mileage and bought it as a stop gap car for a couple of weeks 4 years ago for £281. I have to stick with Audi now as it seems I have some serious amount of luck finding decent very cheap low mileage examples, and I even rebuilt my garage just for somewhere to keep a couple of hundred quid car lol. The garage is normally the other way up lol.If only I could concrete the garden, then I could make a space for another Twiggy, mrbenn, RobT and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
