well a few weeks ago i picked up a comira for $50 with a weeks rego full tank of fule and new tyres just wondering has many other people pick up bargans like that as i found the petrol in the car was worth $50 and i found a $$20 in the boot making the car $30

[Beetus]

When I was 16 my old man picked up a Ford Escort in good nick for free off someones lawn who didn't want it. I lovingly did it up in the garage for a few months. One day whilst I was at school my older brother swapped my Escort for a wheelie bin as he was building a new house and didn't have one.

End pointless story...

[SSVPom]

A clean 1990 Ford Granada 2.0 GLi Hatchback for 165 quid ($396) which I sold for 250 quid ($600) after using it for 3 months before emigrating !

[holmsy]

i got a good old datsun parts car for $30 off the same guy i got my datsun paddock bomb off for $200. it wouldent have taken much to get it back on the road but at the time i was no where near having a license and didnt want a datsun anyway so it became my next victim.

The cheapest car I have ever bought was my GXL actually. $2200 with 12 months rego in '92. Haven't stopped spending money on it since (big money pit) but more satisfying than pouring money and interest payments into new cars that are depreciating in value. It has outlasted, XDs, EAs, EFs, AUs and turns more heads than any of them. When I got it it was just "one of those cars that old Greek men drive", according to the GF of the day, it's outlasted most of them too, and her, and a few others.

[Hardtopxb]

Well not the cheapest car I have purchased but definatly the best value. Years ago I was looking for an XR(68) in good nick to do up a bit as a daily driver,saw an ad in the local paper and went out to have a look, an older bloke owned it and it was in good nick just looking at it etc V8,4 speed, old jellybean wheels. He wanted $2500 for it as it had been his sons who died years ago and it had just been sitting in his shed ever since.Ok so I started to have a good look at the old girl,lifted the bonnet looked at the ID plate and its a JG33. I said to the old bloke do you know what this car is?.He says yes it's a Ford Falcon.I tell him its a GT. He says "Look mate I still want $2500 for it take it or leave it..I took it..
