Looking for a car for £500

harveybobbles

I know someone selling a 2000 Daewoo Lanos. Think its a 1.6 petrol done about 60,000 miles. Think they want about £450 for it. Pretty bomb prrof things them to be honest.

Gonna be selling my Corsa in a week or 2. R reg, absolute shed to look at but MOT'd till march 2011 an 5 months tax.
The best part? Running on veg oil with no problems. Even off the shelf at Asda your under £1 a litre with a 50/50 mix.
Dont know what I'll get but I recon £400 of anybodys money for the MOT an tax.

Might have that off you if I manage to sell my current car any time soon then (I'm near Stirling)

Might have it off you anyway and SORN & garage it

Bought my motorbike from Alloa recently. I'm thinking of a biodiesel processor but with all the kids I've got, need something bigger. Should have the wifes Grand Voyager back on the road in the next week then the search for a 7 seat 4 by 4 begins.

Is 50:50 the most you've run it on?

A little bit more now. Probably 60% veg (filtered waste oil) 40% diesel right now. Theres a thread on here about veg oil. Worth a look. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1961265
If your looking for help and advice on cars for veg oil, I can recommend www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk

I'll definitely buy it if you still have it when my car sells (I'm struggling though )

I owned a Favorit. Brilliant little car for next to nothing.

I had one too and it was excellent, which is what led me to think the Felicia might be at least as good...

as a rule 12 months mot is a must service history is helpful and get an inspection done for piece of mind. ebay can be a good place to buy but be very careful

who is going to get an inspection that costs over £100 on a £500 car!?
