I know many people change their car each year and some go on to sell their old cars on, give them away or else dispose of them. I am looking to get a free unwanted car for a runabout. any ideas where I can find one?

    If you visit local used car dealers, they quite often have 'bangers' in trade in deals.

    They're a bit better than scrap, but not worth the effort of sending to auction & certainly wouldn't be sold as anything other than 'spares/repair' on your invoice - so don't expect a warranty!!!

    So maybe, £20 - £50 would get the sort of thing you want.
