Recession bargains

[EddScott]

Subarus are very cheap these days. If I had the time to look after one properly I'd have one by now. With pre-tax rob vehicles under £3K they are such a bargain.

a 7 day The Sun sponsored package trip to Benidorm for 100 quid

The horror. I inadvertently agreed to something similar whilst on the phone to my mother in-law. Not an ounce of class, haven't worked for years and had more holidays in the last 2 years then I have in 31! I've got until April next year to work out how to get out of it!

Regardless of whether you would purchase one.. It is ridiculously cheap!

Those Vectras have wind up windows in the back. Couldn't believe it when I got in one!

also, when my girlfriends dad was jacking up the car to change a flat tyre the sill crumpled when using the correct jacking point on the car!

So has my Passat.

It just oozes class having hollow plastic mouldings punched into the nylon coated door cards.

Hmm...I'm sure someone bought a brand new Astra 1.6 in the not too distant past...

For a reason though. It's a hideous looking, bland bit of filth. About as appealing as having major dental work performed for no real reason.

Something wasn't right. Done correctly this wouldnt happen.

Ooh, the Vectra 'Life'. I think not, though for Joe Retard-Platesnob-Smythe it would ideed be bargainous indeed.

I thought he had an MG. Please tell me he didn't ?

 

[[TW]Fox]

He had an Astra in 2006, which he bought brand new on Finance. Then he put it on its roof and wrote it off. He pretended this was a non fault accident for 6 months, though.

Then a few years later he put up a thread explaining how he wanted to buy back the shell and rebuild it as a project car.

[Firestar_3x]

Cheapest i can find is 20k for a very early one, wasn't the 10K plus sales tax etc?

 

[merlin]

Is that 10 kilos of coke, or £10,000?

£10,000 - not sure what the going rate for a kilo of coke is, do you get a discount for buying in bulk, or a BOGOF?
