Following on from the other thread but lest start with under £1000 cars...

As title really. Pics would be nice if you have them....

heres mine 2 of....

WORST

Paid £460



paid £286 (ebay)




BEST

£404 (ebay)



£100 (mate)




there are others but i reckon they are my best and worst at this price range.

Be interesting to see what you guys have had.

 

No pics but worst without a shadow was a skanky Corsa i bought to get me out of a spot of bother. Paid just over £400 and it was fucked within 20odd miles!!

I towed it back, dumped it on the fella's driveway as he was out and was there bright and early to get my cash back.

Best had to be a Proton i used as a runner. £200. Utterly raped it everywhere, never checked anything on it, put just shy of 20,000 mile of abuse on it. Never washed it, used it as an ashtray and sold it full of chip wrappers and covered in 2" of dirt.

Half mentioned i was gonna let it go and a workmate went to the bank and got me the £200 within minutes. Deal!

 

Best was my s60. Pretty much stole it at 800 quid. Worst would be the 100 quid ax. Not because it did anything wrong. Just that it was an ax

 

worst was my old 200sx lol, paid £600 off egay for it, drove it home running on 3 cylinders as a coilpack was fucked. fitted another one and it ran fine for a month then melted a valve and the turbo was fucked. so again i drove it for about 2 months on 3 cylinders every day to bath from swindon lol and smoking like a fucking cunt. got though 64l of asdas finest oil lol in 6 months. i then bough an engine off stav for like £50 and rebuilt the turbo myself and it was fine after that. i never washed it, and it was white, so when i did wash it, it didnt go white lol, so just rubbed it down with some fine wet and dry lol. sold it for £450 lol

best

i did have a 205gti that i paid £800 for, swapped the wheels off it plus £100 my way for some bk racing one that i liked better than the tsw alpines, had to have a new clutch that cost £220, then sold the bk wheels for £250 bought a set of std pepper pots and traded it in for £600 with a fucked driveshaft lol.

and i bought the 3dr for £500 off stav, and if i ever getting going properly, it should be the by far the best, but it has had over £35k spent on it

why do we do this, remind me

 

Hmm,under a grand,there's been so many.best,either my £100 mondeo estate v6 ghia that was just perfect really,apart from Economy.I never wanted to reveal it but I'm currently driving a facelift jeep grand Cherokee,91k 2001 model,all the bits,had a side ender but it stands me £850 taxed,it's 4.0 litre high output but LPG converted so I get 50 odd miles to £10 LPG,same as I get out of a 1.4 escort!!!Worst,probably the 924,paid £500 with a new ticket in 2002.as I pulled away from the garage,switched the pop up headlights on and heard a crunching noise.a dim light emmitted and upon further inspection the headlight was totally fucked,hanging out,immersed in water.went to gsf and they told me it was £100 for a new one,two minute check in the carpark and I bought a mk1 golf headlight for £18,fitted straight in!!!
