Re: run - around car wanted in your area??!!....
Would not getting a personal loan in cash from the bank be a cheaper way than organising HP for a specific car?

Within 40 miles of Totnes and under £500. 27 cars
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/u...c/price-to/500 Within 40 miles of Totnes and between £500 - £1000. 244 cars http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/u.../sort/priceasc Some examples of the under £500 1997 Fiat Punto with 94k on clock £289 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...95nh?logcode=p 1995 Toyota Corolla with 109k on the clock £450 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...95nh?logcode=p 1996 Toyota Corolla with 43k on the clock £495 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...95nh?logcode=p You would have to be unlucky to get a crap Corolla. Nice gearboxes on them, the second one only had 43k on it. But if buying a cheap old banger I'd at the very least drop the oil and filter asap, or better still a full service with other filters and plug change. I don't know about down there but I hear adverts on the radio around here saying they'll service a car (under 2.0l) for under £100.

Yup, those Corollas were made when Toyota's track record was still one of absolute reliability. Things seem to be a bit different now...

Re: run - around car wanted in your area??!!....
and if buying a car over the standard cambelt service, get it changed. Especially if there is no proper evidence of this having been done.
The Pug I bought I was told the cambelt had just been changed. On looking inside, one found a belt that was within a hundred miles (if that) of snapping. I changed it myself with the help of my dad.  I think it was the original cambelt and the mileage on the clock was 125k.
