Yes theres still some advertised for around £10k and sometimes even a bit less, but youll find that they are priced like that for one reason or another.
Like the one above, it looks a good buy for £9k, but when you notice that its had a rwd conversion then thats the main reason why its that price im sure. Still a good car for the money though despite being rwd im sure. But that will massively limit the market for a car that already has a limited market to start with, so has to be priced to reflect that in my opinion.
£10k has been bottom end money for as long as i can rememeber, and still is, just like it has been, and still is around £13k-16k has for a decent one, with minters going for more.
The 'recession' we're in is proportionate with most cars, so if you find a seller that needs the money or a quick sale, regardless of what tyoe of escos they have, you have more bargaining power so may get a little more knocked off if your lucky.
Sorry to burst your bubble mate , but that car would have been the exact same price if it was std 4x4 , infact i had people desperate for that car simply because it was RWD , It was cheap because it was priced to sell in a seriously declining market , Im realistic and know that if i want to sell a car it has to be a great car at a realistic price
AS SAID , I sold a std 4x4 escoss a month earlier for less than the RWD car , Yes it needed some work but was still priced realisticly so it sold
