pandamonium Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Due to the impending sale of my Micra, and the ever impending baby Pandamonium, I am going to need a new car.I need it to be a 5 seater of average size, with rear seatbelts.I need MOT and tax for around 5 months - will accept less if decent. That is all. Anyone have anything? Or seen anything interesting? Cheers, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R9UKE Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Whereabouts are you? I might be able to make some ridiculous suggestions from my ebay watch list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Ah, forgot that bit - must be within half an hour of my place - Hadleigh, Essex. My missus is ready to drop the baby and I don't think it'd go down well if I was miles away on some tat-buying mission while she was giving birth!!!

Cavcraft Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It wouldn't be Autoshite if someone didn't make a totally hopeless suggestion. How about a BMW convertible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Lol!How about an 2009 F1 racing car. $1,500,000. Located in Dubai. Needs a bit of work. I'd offer my Skoda but I'm too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sounds great, but at the amount I'm selling the Micra for, I doubt I could stretch to that. Should have mentioned that my budget is around £400. And no, I do not want the PandaSelecta Saab. It looks rotten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can't you get Auto5 to examine the SAAB for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messerschmitt owner Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 the BX isn't rotten - it's great in every bad BX area! And it doesn't have a clutch pedal for the pedal box to break next to. It'd be about £525 all in inc the tax - I'll forgo the bus fare back home.Has fetching red and grey tweed upholstery and keep fit windows in the back.

catsinthewelder Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You could probably shiply DW's 309 accross and still be within budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sorry, the only thing I have at the moment is a Vauxhall Victor that will be a bit over budget! Might be worth having a nose round the cars for sale in Kirbys, there's bound to be one or two with a bit of MOT left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R9UKE Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Gah. If I were anywhere near you the S70 probably would have suited. It'll have a full MOT next week and then through auction with a £350 reserve. But - MOT until October, tax until May. Hood doesn't work AND it's got 192k - shite http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-PEUGEOT- ... 500wt_1202 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Canvey Trade Cars has a nice W-reg Xantia 2.0 SX hatchback in stock at the moment, but it's up for £595... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Might be interested in that Vectra, but not for me - for my friend. Could you send me the reg number for insurance quotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
