Clearly - but even for small money these days you don't need to resort to piles like that.:rolleyes:

I lol'd! That take the biscuit for the biggest pile of scrap for €250 quid! It's not even worth the 30 quid a scrapyard would give!

Absolute heap. Worst car of the thread perhaps?

You would get something a lot more respectable for less money that ball of sh1te..

Those old 1.6L diesel engine in them are also unbreakable, plus they're known to achieve up to 70mpg too! Beats any hybrid!

Each to their own mate,,:)

I for one like the old mk4's.

There is no doubt that it needs a lot of money for the NCT,so in a way it can't be a run-able banger,but id buy it for resto work.

€750, 00, 50mpg, over 12 months test, loads of miles I would think though.

MidlandsM

yep, but still a cheap decent car.

I sold a 1997 Rover 400 diesel 18 months ago for €770, was rough enough compared to the 45, the 45 looks excelent value.

Indeed - I love this bit:
"please don't forget this is not a nissan micra is a AUDI A8"

This one looks a good'un with Full Audi Service history.

I'd be interested in this, except that it's unfortunately a pre-facelift model.

hairyman

Not wishing to flame any of you guys, and the A8 is an epic bit of engineering.

However, Is the whole point of a cheap banger not supposed to mean that its also a credible and cheap daily runner, even in its 2.8L V6 form its hardly what one could call a shoestring runner.

Fine car though!

Nope!

For someone doing average mileage, that A8 would be cheaper to run (total cost of ownership) than a 2 year old Corolla. That's the whole point about bangernomics. Lots of car for very little money, even if they cost a little bit more to run...

Eoin

Well, it could mean that as well, given that it's a made up word - but it would make for a very dull thread if it was just a list of cheap A to B cars.
