Suprash Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The supra is going into the garage for 2 weeks, possibly longer, and after looking at hire car prices dont fancy spending £105 pwk. So thought I would look at buying a shitter. Just wondered if anybody new of any good places to look on tinternet or local wise to Hampshire for a cheap shed, dont wanna spend any more then £150 and it has to have MOT, apart from that I dont care as long as it lasts for a month..... I was thinking car auctions, but I have never done this before so if anyone can help would really appreciate it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjm.uk Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Well. apart from autotrader you aint got much choice. Nothing wrong with Auctions, except you cant do nothing with the car till you buy. Thus meaning you could be paying £100-£200 for something that will breakdown in 4hours (I have had it happent to me before). http://www.autotrader.co.uk/ Will point you in the right direction - And if possible get a diesel corsa - great little engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law has a rover 216 which has been lightly keyed and tappetts are a bit noisy. Apart from that it was his every day car until a new one this week. It's got 3 month tax 8 months mot good brakes etc. He's just too idle to sell it properly and to get rid he only wants £200 for it. (no offers) You can drive before you buy and walk away if not happy Lives in south wales... interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have a cavalier diplomat with full heated leather, and electric everything including aircon (needs gassing though). Got MOT till feb but tax is out as its not being used. Nice to drive, nothing really wrong with it but paintwork isn't brilliant. Yours for £200 mate!

rik Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Try your local papers and supermarkets, they have add boards usualy. This is where old ladies sell their old metros and the like that have done 500 miles in the last ten years. For the love of Christ....don't get an old Fiat.

Jake Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I tried that but I dont think me and ebay get on, couldnt find shit on there which I was suprised about as I would have thought Ebay would have been shitter heaven Maybe I need Jake...... Yes mate, I've got several shitter Supras on my drive. Help yourself. I would think that something for £150 is very likely to let you down Wouldn't it be easier to buy like a £500 - £1000 car, use it for a few weeks then sell it on and get your money back.

There's always people looking for Jake, it literally needs to run while the Supra is away on holiday, so even if I got 3 weeks out of it, job done. Havent got the spare cash to outlay a grand in the first place, Supe is gonne cost me 2.5k (maybe more) this month alone, hence the budget shitter...

If you want it dude, i'll take 150 to get rid of it, I've had it over 4 years and never had to do anything, it'll need the battery charged now though but runs fine. You've probably seen it, its the one my mum used to use, so you might have seen it at my mum's house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
