Anyone know where I would find a super cheap runaround, ideally a diesel?
Looking for something ideally around £100 or less, not bothered what it is really.
Don't seem to be many in Autotrader, presumably because people don't want to pay £40 or however much it is to sell a £70 car!

Not really what I'm after. Plus, it'll get nicked if I park it outside.
Anyone got any ideas on the car?

My mate bought a 1.8 mondeo for £200 and I got a BMW E30 325 for £800 for a runabout for a few months
Look in the local rag - theres always cheap cars

Try the auctions. Your not gonna get much for £100 anyway so you can't really get ripped off.

Yea, going to give the auctions a try. It was Top Gear which inspired me.
I'm sick of all the car crime round here, cars getting broken into all the time, day and night, so I figured that rather than leave my Mini outside to get trashed, I might aswell get something which I don't care about and use that until I find a new apartment, hopefully with underground parking!

I would have it mate but I don't want to see your pride and joy get wrecked.
They'll nick anything if its not nailed down, the handle bars, seat, gears and maybe even that buckled wheel.
It just wouldn't be fair on the bike.
