Winter Hack (Cage)
After being carless for 18 months, I have just bought a banger to smoke around in over the winter.
Citroen Xantia 1.9TD - 97 R reg. Roof bars, tow bar, fairly tidy. 98k miles. MOT until July 07. £500 - insurance is £170 fully comp. Even if it only lasts until the next MOT, it is still going to be cheap motoring (hopefully  )

At 500 quid, why the fully comp insurance? Or did it not make a big diff?

My 98 Nissan Almera was cheaper to insure fully comp than going TPO or TPFT  . Car is probably worth about £500-£650.Cheers Ben

Plus you get the free breakdown cover with fully comp
Citroen--hates roads,loves garages innit?Sounds like a good cheap hack to me and for £500 you can't go too far wrong.

 I went for fully comp as it lets me drive my Dad's tranny van if I ever need to
