A thread for shite currently for sale for under a grand. For those who might need some cheap wheels at short notice. Try to stick with cars that have a valid MOT as this thread could get flooded with scrap. 

I'll start things off with this....

That Volvo does look quite good actually, so long as the DMF/Clutch is ok and it’s smooth enough you can’t go wrong.

My boss had one of these on a council lease scheme, think it was about £30m all in.

That looks a lovely genuine little thing. I pity them with the absolute bell ends they’ll get coming round at that price wanting it for ‘best price’ £200. A £500 car is like a moth to the flame for nightmare people.

This gives me hope I actually could buy something interesting there for pennies, do a parking lot oil/filters service, have a stroll around UK for a week or two, then do an epic drive home and visit a few places around Europe on the way back. I was under the impression that days of 500 and under cars with some MOT left are gone.

 

MOT history has mentions of corrosion, but other than that it’s not looking terrible.

Loved the one we had, but the rust… Jesus wept. Where they kept this one to stop it rusting?

Kept indoors, I presume? MOT history is indeed devoid of rot related fails. I remember my neighbour having to do a fair bit of welding to keep his on the road when it was barely 10 years old...
