Selling my Clio tonight to fund my deposit on my flat

Getting a Peugeot 106 1.5 Diesel on an N plate to have for £400

Who else drives a fairly cheap car and doesn't care as much as they used to?

My car was free

I got some work done at my dads house on the cheap so he gave me his car as a thank you & bought himself a £26k Audi A4

I went off cars a bit, now see them as a huge waste of money & I cant be arsed keeping a good one - worry about leaving it on the road, costly to run, having to clean it etc Fuckit i'll have my banger any day I can rally about & do what I want in it without worrying

My Corsa cost £1100 but it's in mint condition, only done 29k miles which is

for a car nearly 10 years old. It's not worth a great deal but hardly a banger

To qualify for banger status it has to meet the following criteria:

1. Cost less than £1k
2. You must have no fear while driving it at its limits.
3. Dont give a hoot about the state its kept in.
4. You have to laugh when you reverse 'by accident' into the tree outside the house & when bits of trim fall off while driving.
5. It must never be washed!!
