Some cheap cars on facebook for a change.

£850 for an MoT'd R5 seems like great value these days. Clean it up, four hubcaps, sell it just before Festival of the Unexceptional and doulbe your money?

This Maxi needs PUMPING UP and a clutch slave, but looks really solid. £1200, get it sent down to Les at BL Transverse for 'the works' and you've got a great usable '70s motor

Time was the A40 Farina was the unloved brother of the A35 (too modern, presumably) but these days they seem to go for stronger money than A35s do, I guess because far fewer survive. This sweet Mk1 needs a basic recommission but looks like VALU for £1500.

Who's taking the picture of the A40? ....Ned Kelly?

By sounds of it it’s seen a metric shitload of welding already. Might have done 18k but it’s an MOT away from becoming a washing machine.

I wonder when traders will realize they can write whatever cack they want about "sold as seen" but it doesn't remove the buyer's 6 month consumer rights act protection

I paid £500 for one of those about 15 years ago, sold it for bean tins a year later, someone actually welded it up and it survived to 2017 which surprised me.

Who in their right mind would actually pay that much for a sadface fiesta?

What guarantee would you expect on a £750 car? It’s offered at a few hundred above it’s scrap value. They’ve put that to avoid any doubt with the likely buyer who has £750 to spend on a car.

I have always been fond of this era of Megane. It's aged quite nicely. :)

None whatsoever personally, but consumer rights gives the same protection on a car whether it was £50k or £750. 

Someone went to Judge Rinder over a £400 Skoda that broke down. He cited consumer law etc and that it had to be fit for purpose (! - £400) and the trader was the crook 🤷‍♂️

Judge Rinder... Legal precedent right there! 

It turns on the expectations that one could have of such a car, a £750 Renault is 5% of its original purchase price and 20 years old, a reasonable person can be expected to have to carry out some repairs to that vehicle at their own cost. 

It’s likely as well if someone bought it and had issues and it successfully involved a claim against the trader the Limited company would be wound up and started again so you’d not see the £750 back. I don’t want it to sound like a licence for people to rip each other off but they really should remove this notion of buyer protection on a car below a certain price point. This is why it’s difficult to buy a cheap car because for the trader it’s not worth the agg. If you buy a £750 car and it packs up a fortnight later you should accept the limitations of a car such as that, if that’s not acceptable then it’s not for the buyer. 

I’m not having a go by the way I’m just stating an opinion of why it’s not always practicable to indemnify to purchaser on such a low value vehicle.

This is the key and is misunderstood by many, including on here it seems.  What it is reasonable to expect from a 20 year old £750 car, and hence the protection to the buyer that the legislation provides, is rather different to that of a new/nearly new car costing tens of thousands.
