Hi,
I'm going to be selling my car this weekend and then ordering a new car which could take up to 6-8 weeks to be delivered. I'm going to need a car for the 6-8 week period, any deals or ideas for a car for 8 weeks?

Thanks

    I think this is going to be a rather expensive way to bridge the "gap". Is there any specific reason you can't buy a cheapie from, say, ebay with a view to selling it on when the real car arrives?

    Get a car for around £500, its not going to devalue much and for £500 you should get a fairly reliable car (I would recomend anything jap)

    Then just sell it on for £450 or something when your finished with it
