Anyone selling a cheap reliable car on Ebay??

Hi All,

My partners Fiat Punto has died :A It was a sad day but we did give it a good send off.

We are looking for a cheap used realiable car and wondered if anyone on MSE's is selling one via ebay? It will only be used for short trips to and from work and dropping the kids off at school.

Budget: Between £800 - £1200

MM

  • Have you tried freeads, preloved & stuff4sale (if there's one in your area) my Dad got a really tidy Nissan micra with low miles and years MOT for £600 recently :)

    Or join your local Freecycle group - our local group has just had 2 cars given away!

    My Freecycle area is part of Yahoo groups, and there's 100s of postings every day of stuff that needs a new home rather than being sent to the dump.
  • Cheers guys,

    Will check them both out.

    Where are you? We always get people asking for things like cars with full MOTs on, which they never get.

    No-one's asked for a car since I joined, but 2 were offered this past 10 days.
