Sell me a car!
 
I've looked online a lot but the amount of options are incredible, and without going to check them ALL out I don't know which are reliable or sold by liars et cetera.

Does anybody here know of a car being sold by their family/friends for cheap that they haven't gotten round to putting online yet?

Can be old, ugly, cosmetically damaged. I just want something RELIABLE that a 6'6" chap can fit in. Think old VW Polo: tall, reliable, cheap. I know normally friends and kind folk sell things privately cheaply because it saves the hassle of online selling, and I'm someone honest and friendly looking to make a simple purchase!

In the mean time, here are some funny pictures:

It was his company car then he kept it when he retired. Always serviced in house at Kier the construction company even after he left. £1300 or make an offer. In Essex.

Budget now up to £7k. Must be a tall car, like an SUV or 4x4, where the seating position is upright (like in a van).

Re: Sell me a car!
 
My Dad's got a Nissan X-Trail, it handles pretty well for a 4x4. Should get a decent one for 7k

Liz's Dad has an X-Trail. Feels car like to drive, Spec is decent fuel economy not to bad for what it is. Comfortable and OK on a long distance to. We've taken it to Ireland a couple of times and its fine for motorway work.

I'd buy one if I was in the market for that sort of vehicle.

Re: Sell me a car!
 
Great! I've been looking at one! I'll go have a gander tomorrow!

Re: Sell me a car!
 
Looking back at this thread your budget will be 20 grand in a few weeks, did you say you were in Stratford? My Dad has been on about selling his x-trail so if you are in the market for one give me a shout. He'll want less than 7k I would have thought

allantheboss 28-03-13 11:01 AM

Re: Sell me a car!
 
Nope. GF lives in Stratford-upon-Avon. I'm predominantly in Surrey, other home in Swindon.

That would be great! If you could get me some more details about it, that'd be good!

L3nny 28-03-13 05:43 PM

Re: Sell me a car!
 
He's decided to hang on to his x-trail for a bit, sorry.

Sorry, but that just wouldn't be comfortable, and I'm not interested in all the other stuff. But thanks for the offer!
