comfysofa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi All, Just a quick recce to see if anyone here has a car that has a reasonably long MOT, is cheap to run, not about to kark it or need megabucks to spend on it, and is no more than £350 (my very top end) and not a trillion miles away from Milton Keynes... Basically, i am looking for a car, i have been for weeks now and lack of coinage has meant that i'm just shy of something decent on ebay and i didn't fancy any of the associated shite that is on there, my own stupidity and dawdling means i missed out on 2MB's Polo. So does anyone have a usable small or medium cheap to run car for three hundred and fifty beans or less as i now have a stress induced migrane from studying ebay, gumtree, auto trader and the MOT history site all weekend... A Kia Pride would be a dream (hint, hint) but i'm pretty much open to all suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have just moted and lent my Audi tdi estate to a mate for as long as he needs it, i could ask him how long he needs it if your desperate though maybe no good. comfysofa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
