Cracking Bangers

[Smitters]

Granted, I've only had it a few days, but I'm proper pleased with my find in a Morrisons Customer's Ads board:

Audi A4, R plate, 1.9 TDi, 95k, FSH, first Audi then VAG Specialist, one owner from new. It's base spec, so no aircon and a tapedeck to rock my dodgy pirated copies of the Essential Mix on and has the inevitable corner scuffs associated with an ageing non-petrolhead owner. Tyres look to have 10k left in them, but on the downside tax is in January and MOT in February. Still, should be an excellent winter alternative to my Caterham.

Pic to follow.

Any other PHers got/had a genuine bargain shed?

was it a bargain as you forgot to say how much

if it was 10k it wasnt so much of a bargain

Dammit - talk about typing in a rush before leaving the office...

Yeah - I'd hope £900 is considered a bargain.

I've seen a few for that price was looking at the 1.8t.£600-1500 seem's to be the going rate for them.

that should be just the job to keep winter off the Caterham

Not very PH, but I just bought a Proton Satria GTi, 74k miles, MOT until July 2012, Tax until jan 2012, new tyres, FSH (A huge folder of receipts), all the bits working and there - £600

Bargain!

Get some veg oil in it and get your purchase price back in savings.

Finally got round to putting the info into Autotrader: Audi, A4, Estate, Manual, less than 100k miles, too see what prices come up. Genuinely looks like I got a deal then - nothing close really. Was a proper spur off the moment decision to go and look.

I have to admit, reading SOTW and dreaming about what could be is one of my favourite games.

The Satria sounds like a little cracker for the cash. Handling by Lotus is appealling, but I just had a quick skim of Parkers and it's about one of the most biased "reviews" I've read. The GTi running costs get 1/2 a star, yet a mid-90's Impreza, with it's sub 30's mpg gets 3 1/2. That, and other ill thought out comments clearly point to it being written by a moron.

I just purchased a 96 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 for the grand sum of 150 quid and that included tax and Mot. All I can find wrong with it is some of the switch lights don't work and new bulbs cured that

£150 Basically, you bought a tax disc and got the car free Can't believe anyone would sell a car with tax and ticket for so little these days (given scrap prices).

Bargain! You should post in the 'Snotter' thread if you have not already done so.

The right place at the right time - I took a chance. Anyway I will see how much of a bargain when I phone the garage up later to see what is needed for the Mot.

Surely you can scrap it for more than purchase price?
Winner winner..

Thats what I thought but it's much better than I expected. Will get it mot'ed then most likely sell it on to part finance a nice Grand Cherokee on LPG
