Free car?

[Andrew[MG]]

Or something very cheap...My friend's car died the other day and he needs something to as a daily driver. We are going to hit Shotts auction on Thursday but I thought I would see if anyone had a car they were looking to get shot of for nothing or for very little...worth a go!

i am no auction expert, but my office is right next door to one of the aberdeen car auction sites. often wander over for a gander on a bored afternoon. Noted that the repossession cars dont have a reserve, we saw a well kitted out 750i go for £430. but there are a few sheds go for sod all.

But for very little the local rags always have something, with a bit of MOT/Tax, assuming your talking a few hundred quid?

If you can get over the BCA Glasgow, that's a much better bet. Miles more stock and a bit less...err...wild west?

Not sure what it's called but I went to the old BCA one just outside Wishaw, and saw a 944, that I'd rejected the previous week on the grounds of having not been declared a Cat C, simply run through again with the write-off still undeclared.

You could almost hear the duelling banjos over the tannoy system.

You could be in luck.

I've got a silver '98 Renault Clio RN that I need shot of.

It requires tax and an MOT and probaly two front wishbone bushes, but otherwise it's a good runner. I replaced it with a Golf and never got round to selling it.

PM me if you are interested

What does your friend class as cheap?

I know a friend is selling a Vectra with 6 months mot and tax for around the £600 mark but i'm sure he's open to offers.

Can ask for details if you're interested?

[Andrew[MG]]

I told my friend about the offers on here but he wants to go tonight and buy "the biggest car I can for £500"

This is going to be fun!!

[antihero3000]

What did he get in the end?

[Mattymouse33]

I have a 98 Civic Vtec Aerodeck for less thatn a grand. Bullet-proof, 158k and in silver. I had a few workhorses and got rid of the better condition cars to keep this as its so reliable, quick too. Owned for the majority of its life.

Anyone???

[Andrew[MG]]

He still hasn't got something. While we were at the auction he got a call saying he could borrow a yellow Fiesta van for a couple of months. I'm doubting that the van will be insured so I've no idea how he could drive it. Rest assured I won't let him use it without insurance.

The auction was full of members of the public (the day time ones are much better) so the bid prices were getting a bit silly!

Plenty of stuff on Auto Trader

P Reg Megane, MOT & Tax, 90k miles, £300
K Reg Audi 80 2.0, MOT & Tax 140k miles, £379
K Reg Merc E200, MOT & Tax, 190k miles, FSH, £395
R Reg Astra 1.6, MOT July, 92k, £395

Passat and Merc well worth looking at.

Passat is in Glasgow and the Merc is in Edinburgh (333 number, I think that's Ratho-ish)
