Me too. Used cars are *way* cheap. Auto Trader is chocker with what
appear to be perfectly good sub-£500 cars.

Did anyone watch Top Gear tonight (Sun), they managed to by an old
V6, all mod-cons, high mileage (?) Volvo 7xx series from a Volvo
dealer for 1 (one) GBP - the car was an trade-in that wasn't worth
sod all but would have cost the dealer to dispose of at the scrap
yard so happily sold it on for a quid !




That's not unusual a friend's son works in a large posh main dealers
and px' s over 8 years old are sold for £10 to staff or trade, they
just them out the way Quick.
The £10 is just to cover admin, its were my Volvo 740 estate came
from, it's a strange feeling when the petrol you've just put in the
tank is worth 3 times the cost of the car!

I bet paying the insurance on a £10 car is even more galling.
