Enough budget left to put some blue lights back on it. Will be useful in our recession induced post apocalyptic landscape

£995 on PH. Facelift of the one i'm driving at the moment. Nothing exciting but sips petrol nicely (compared to the jeep anyway!), got a little bit of boot if you fancy and is for the most part, bulletproof! fun

I only paid £500 for mine too so even more of a bargain.

Never know, might last more than 2 months before epic failure. *cough*

I'll take this one please! Barge ownership is not an attractive proposition for me tbh. Perhaps if I had a 100 mile commute on a motorway it would be different, but until then I'll take something without the styling of a shoe box and the dynamics of a sofa.

Bargain, i bet you could knock it down to £550-£600.

My Mini 1 grand bang on.

Nearing 200bhp/tonne, iconic and a total chav basher

Beat it.

But then again the guy we got it from his wife said it was either the car or her so he had to get rid.

Jewish Racing Gold so not worth very much!

Good car for the money though but the phase 2 cars seem to be losing value.

Phase 2.5 and 3 are worth good money still in good condition and good condition phase 1s seem to be appreciating slightly!

That Mondeo is the best 600 quid car I have ever seen and looks nothing like a 600 quid car. Lack of MOT is concerning especially as you could double its value with 12 months MOT..

wassap · 7 Mar 2009 at 23:35

To be fair, Ive seen loads of cheap ST24's , no doubt that one does look in tip top shape.They are simply seen as an old Mondeo now.

You do have be wary of them tho, the HG's are prone to failure, without the usual mayo under the cap or overheating symptoms.

This thread really proves that you dont have to spend many thousands on a car to get a really nice car.
