I desperately need a car!

Broke_but_fixing_it

My very vintage work van finally went to the scrapyard after 210,000 miles had been driven in her, problem is I'm not in a position to buy a new car and I have bad credit from living abroad for 10 years and don't know how I'm going to afford this essential vehicle me and my daughter desperately need for everyday.
Does anyone know any companies that lend to bad credit that don't completely rip you off? Or anywhere I could get a run a round for less than £500?

If you have a poor credit rating then buying a car outright is the only option if you wont want to be ripped off.

Under £500 car, Local car sales pitch, Private adverts in the newspaper, Autotrader, Ebay, Gumtree etc etc etc..

Did you weigh it in yourself?

The car I always end up with when broke is a Rover 400 diesel.

Civic shell and running gear, and rock solid non-stressed 2 litre diesel that'll do 400,000 miles without a sniff.

Paid between £330 and £700 for mine, had 4 with no problems.
