Wanted A cheep run around
Has any one got a cheep run around for sale.
No more than a couple of hundred quid.
Must have mot & tax.
Must be cheep to run, & most of all be reliable.
Just needed to get to work and back.
Cheers Paul.

Good luck! 
You might have to raise the bar to £500 plus. Keep an eye on Ebay for last minute bargains.

I only need it for a few weeks.
I couldn't get the scoob booked in until 12th June to have the cam belt done. so can't use that as there's a split in the belt, And I've just brought a people carrier on Sunday. Now either the gear box, drive shaft or the clutch has gone. (eBay
)so can't use that. So I need a cheep car until these are repaired.
Can't aford much because of the repair bill for the above.

As mentioned, the average price for a car with tax and MOT at the mo is about £400(for a family sized car), I've been trawling Autotrader and Ebay for the last few weeks trying to find a cheap car for my stepson as he's just passed his test. Got a budget of £1000 for a Fiesta, Punto, saxo or clio and there's not a lot about at the mo
