Question £500 run around.

Guys, im after a cheap run around. For when the car goes in for repair. I only want to spend upto £500 and I'd like it to be a diesel. Could someone let me know if they have or know of one.
sorry and I'd like it to have some MOT. I don't mind taxing it.
Many thanks

Dylan.

Not trying to take buisness away from Gareth but depending on how long you want it for wouldnt it be easier to hire a car from Days?

Save the fuss of registering it and insurance.

Think a Fiesta is about £100 a week

you be lucky to get a hire car for £100 a week. i had a good deal the other week on a 3 day hire and that was £80

then you have to think if his cars off the road for 2 weeks thats
on your estimate £200

for an extra £50 he can have the pug then sell it on for the £250 he paid all day long and hes not out of pocket at all.

the pugs a good cheap little run around its just the damp inside needs drying out and it would be a nice £450 car anyday

we sold it for £450 then had it back because we ixed the girls ford prob for her and it now only owes me £250 and as its mate thats why i said £250 for anyone else it would be £450 again

my numbers 07897 853 752 fella

Agree that little pug's a bargain, my old man had one of these, 70-80 mpg on a run! As Gareth said Dyl, you could make a couple of quid on it too or just keep it as a second car..cheap motoring.

My sister had a Ford Ka on hire while her car was being repaired for £99 per week.

I hired a Mondeo from Days before christmas for £120 for a week.

Worth an enquiery i think.

Ummm when my car went in for repair the accident management company got a hire car for me. All costs were met by the "at fault" party. I know that Dylan's situation is different but it may be worth investigating?

Saying that, I bet you'd not loose anything on the Pug when you sell it on

My 2 brothers both work for days in the past and even with there discount i could still hire cars cheaper with europcar or a local one here in newport
and a quick look on here Day's Rental - Car and Van Hire Across South Wales shows that even the most basic car is £138.60 a week and a mondeo size being £268

but your missing my point,

if you pay £120 or whatever on a hire car that money is gone.......

if you buy a cheap car then sell it on when youve finished (as long as you find a good deal....cough "my pug" cough.........) then its not cost you a penny or even you could make a few £££££

simples........

i know its nice to drive around in a shiney new car for a week but if you buy a cheapy that you can make a few qwid on it makes you want your car back more and you miss the one you love

Hey dylan, if you do buy the pug and don't plan on keeping it long, can I have first dibs when you're ready to get shot?
