Picked this up a few weeks (cough) ago (hence all the dust and crap!) for my mum to replace her old Fiesta...

10 months MOT

2 new tyres

New exhaust

£100

£100 and 10 months MOT? Bargain motoring at it's best!

Don't understand where people get these bargains

It all fairness, it does have a snapped cambelt...

I got a mint black 52 plate Saxo VTR with HGF for £100 yesterday, not sure what to do with it mind

Not sure £100 for an old Clio that doesnt work exactly qualifies as a bargain

Scrap car sold at Scrap value. Where's the bargain exactly?

pinkpotato · 3 Apr 2011 at 18:04

I'd still be chuffed with it

Another £100 or so and a couple of hours of my time, it'll be a nice little runabout for my mum...seems pretty decent to me...

Totally, or a tidy profit if you sold. You should start up a sideline if you can get bargains like this on a regular basis....

So it's not really a £100 car is it.

tummelv · 3 Apr 2011 at 18:42

Pretty good deal there!

Find something better for say £250 then?

Given 6 hours work in the hands of a competent DIY mechanic I'd say that's a bargain.

Same place i got this one from has another Clio (T-reg) with HGF. Offered the same amount (scrap value) as #1 son turned 17 a couple of months ago. Its has a little more 'patina' shall we say, but hell, its for a 17 y/o after all!!!

I didn't say it wasn't a bargain, a bit misleading that's all.

From reading just your first post it sort of seemed as if you had bought a fully functioning, 10 month MOTed car for £100, which (given the high price of scrap nowdays) would have been a proper bargain. One with a broken engine doesn't really seem that impressive in comparison.
