Used for the price of a New.....

[Guardian]

I just watched the TopGear episode where they find used cars for the price of a new Nissan Pixo.

So, what happens is, someone posts a new car, and the price, then the next person posts a used car of the same price that's much more desirable. Then they post a new car, and so on...

I'll kick things off:

Dacia Sandero '13 - £5995

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I don't have anything right now, but I really really like the idea of this thread. It will be pretty fun.

 

[Tornado]

Oh, wait. Misunderstood the OP. Nevermind.

 

[avens]

I hope people try to make it realistic, meaning it is not a good idea to buy a 30 year old car that's all rust and that its yearly insurance costs more than the car itself. Something you would consider and maybe buy as a daily or weekend driver, instead of a "project" that will ruin your life.

Classic minis are a prime example of that. Absurdly cheap to buy, hf maintaining it. That's not only on the financial side of it but most importantly that the car needs a lot of constant work, which is why people do engine swaps on those so they are more reliable.

edit: And come to think of it, it would be pretty nice if people post the link where they got the price from (1. Actual car) and another link showing what it usually costs (2. Actual car in good condition).

[Doog]

Don't we have a thread for this?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

No, that's a thread asking people which car they'd rather buy. This is a thread where people post a car and others post a used car that's more desirable or someone for the same price.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

This is basically for people like me, who love to find great cars for small amounts of money. Even though I can't afford them.

A little bit less then the GT-86, I'll use the rest of the money for maintenance.

Don't we have a thread for this?

But the name of the game here is to find a car, not decide on one.

 

[Azuremen]

I'll not play for a bit I think, as I'd just find the best value in an M car for the new car's money

Oh, and just so things stay logical, the only rule is that the 'new car' must be no older than a 2012 Model. 2011 Is acceptable in cases where the manufacturer is small scale.​

I think you misunderstood. The iQ costs £11,000, so your used car must cost roughly that.
