Title: Something for a few hundred quid?
Post by: Omega_Dan on 17 January 2011, 13:39:44: Now baby is here im after a very cheap small car with a few months MOT for Mrs 282 to learn to drive in.

Condition not that important but the cleaner the better.

Im on the bay looking but if anyone has gone anything corsa/106 size let me know please!

Checked it over and all level and fuilds look good. Jusy put a new air filter on for a fiver.

All it needs is a CV boot Joint as it knocks when turning right but he did mention it has a slight knocking. All for 375 squids!
