£100 Car for the Scally Rally

[Guy]

Haggle this one (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...3628&logcode=p) down to £100?

Got to be a misprice.

I think they may have left off a zero when putting that up there!

Got to take it quick though £100 and it's yours, needs a bit of work though but in budget

Could swear Renault make the Megane But fair shout a good find

Oh dear ....

I know, been looking at replacements hence mondeo, still... want it gone quickly though hence the price (want to get the insurance cancelled ASAP so I can take out a new policy...can't afford to run 2 policies)

Blimey, Great find on the Gold but it must be a mis price... it's way too cheap even with nearly 200K on the clock!

Might give them a call to confirm tomorrow though, would hate to miss out on a bargain!

lol Finlay... so many cars you forget what they're called?

Thanks but to be honest I'd *ideally* like something a bit bigger, Volvo Estate if possible! but I've plenty of time to purchase it so I'm in no massive hurry (yet) and I don't really intend to buy until the new year unless a cracking deal comes up !

Thanks for all the comments!

Lada Riva if you can find one.. and not a diesel car....it'll freeze up like a bugger up there...petrol all the way.

[Konan555]

If you do go diesel and have some cold start issues, there's a magic aditive called gasoline

[Vimeous]

Nah a Niva instead

[Gr44]

That Niva looks like the thing Hammond drove across Africa?

Question; why are some cars sold as 'Spares or Repair' but in the description they state they 'run well' etc.. some even have an MOT.

What am I missing?

Diesel that doesn't start you put petrol in? Is it safe to mix the two? I know Petrol has a lower ignition point so makes sense I guess...

edit;

Just found this;

Hardly practicle but if it's just the seats & wing mirrors it's an easy hit and would be lotsa fun... sleeping in tents rather than the car I suspect lol

Thins the diesel out a bit, but it's got very poor self igniting properties so doesn't run great. Some engine's state that you can run up to 30% petrol at reduced performance in the grips of winter.

The other trick is to carry a gas torch and warm the lines up before you try to turn the engine over

[Zak33]

don't bother with petrol in the diesel.. just buy a petrol car for that job.

Besides... Lada's are only petrol

Got to thank the OP for the idea, have talked to a few friends and we're looking into if we can put in a team or two!

Really hope there's still room!

[Gr44]

I'm sure there will be plenty of room left still, I don't think many people start to sign up until the new year going by the forum threads for the past couple of runs!

I haven't signed up yet and I'm not worried about not getting in!

Let me know if you do, be good to know a few people that are going... we'll have to ensure we've all got some nice cheap CB radios for the journey!!
