Default Where do you guys find cars advertised

After doing a few searches on here at various threads and seeing some of the cars people claim you can get for a grand etc one example a Subaru wagon turbo for £500 and it runs sounds like a bargain but where do you find such things as I can't lol

Just keep checking eBay and Gumtree daily. Your there to pounce on any bargains before someone else does.

Always bargains about, thing is a bargain is snapped up quick, so if you spend the afternoon umming and aaaring about it, it will be gone. You need to be constantly browsing and when one does come up, straight in the car and off to get it.
