55bloke Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Bit cheeky I know, but I'm going to ask for some help here!! A friend of mine has had her car expire and is in desperate need of something CHEAP but reliable!! If any one sees anything that looks promising, please let me know.
Albert Ross Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 What do you call cheap? Do you need crap like PAS and EW? Or just a boggo rotbox to keep her mobile?
55bloke Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Anything with a ticket and not in danger of falling to pieces would be considered!!! Preferably small and economical.
Albert Ross Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 There's an Audi Coupe on a K (round shape) in Adwick in Doncaster. Bit big maybe, but it's about 700 sheets IIRC.
AnthonyG Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Retro rides for sale thread below - you find often cheap VWs, Fords, Pugs etc for sale as 'cheap dailys' or register and put a wanted ad up.http://retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=FSWVicsmith (Hirst knows him, I think), and Cavette seem to be a good source of motors as I think they both are in the trade, both are 'up north' as well. Or you could go and help MrB put that Rover 214 together, you might get a can of Cobra as a bonus!
KruJoe Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Good advice AG, here's a few cheapies ending soon on t' Yorkshire bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAEWOO-NUBIRA-CDX-LOW-MILEAGE-CHEAP-CAR-POWER-STEERING_W0QQitemZ170275529515 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-NISSAN-ALMERA-1-6-SLX-WHITE_W0QQitemZ170273325357 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-MONDEO-1-8-LX-N-reg-65k-gen-full-s-history-2-owner_W0QQitemZ250316506083 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-POLO-1-6-CL-BLACK-13-MONTHS-MOT-CHEAP-CAR_W0QQitemZ320315065649 ...well not too far from S Yorks. Good luck with the search.
Milford Cubicle Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 The dullard Almera should make great reliable transport, they survive well even if they haven't been serviced in the last 10 years.
CortinaDave Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Almeras = ugly but worthy. Funny ride though.. only car I've ever felt car sick in.
HillmanImp Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 With the Almera also make sure you find out where in the car the lever to open to petrol cap is to avoid looking like a total douchebag whilst attempting to fill up.
55bloke Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated. Heading over to RR now!!
