Inside Vulgalour's Car Buying Head

[purplebargeken]

Have bought many (nearly all) sub-500 quid cars and can only agree with DW.

While it might not bite him on the arse, I'll wager a sub-£500 motor will have faults. And given Vulgs desire to have the car as near perfect as he can achieve, those faults will just be a distraction from the Princess & the R6.

 

Edit to add, just seen the list of faults with the new motor

 

"The bad bits are restricted to a weeping radiator, a bust electric mirror, finicky remote central locking, loads of lacquer peel and wheels that are jiggly at 65mph. It may also need tracking. There's evidence of K Seal in the expansion bottle but no evidence of OMGHGF and it's done 104,000 miles. The clutch drags a bit when you're doing less than 10mph so that will either need adjusting or replacing. "

 

Nothing earth shattering but a couple of days work

Really, whatever I buy needs to have an MoT, I don't particularly want another project.

 

Which is why this is so tempting.

HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

 

 

I love how each and every car featured in Vulg's opening post is mind-shatteringly dire.  Solution: all of the above.

For those that might have missed it, the new car: http://autoshite.com/topic/21187-vulgalours-new-car/

 

It's alright.  Mind-shatteringly dire to look at and bags of fun to drive.  I'm a happy chappy.

That Toyopet, espied earlier in the thread, has an interior made largely of Caramac.

 

Tasty.
