Needed a good Car

Filed Under : Hello , Other

Posted By : Drum Bloke™ - that bloke that drums | Comments : 6

Previous blogs about mine you'll no why.

In the market for a good relibable car that's ready to go, at the very least a 6 month ticket.

Criteria:
Low insurance / tax band. No oil buners please, or post 'Italian tune up' - already had one.
Not interested in flash machines, fancy accessories, anything too big - then again nothnig too small if it's a Messerschmitt KR200 i'll probably not be interested at all. Nor do I need a V12 :P.

Afew scratches or a ding I can handle I'll drive it not look at it.

If it's a good sound motor I'll be on it like a shot. Need one in the next couple of weeks.
Maybe you know someone who is about to sell one that you know will be a 'Good Buy'
Or if you seen one gis a nod.
My 'Ceiling' is around a grand..

Your so kind.

Muchos Gracias

get yerself a 5 series beemer estate..will carry all yer gear and more..oh..oops..low tax and insurance?..maybe not..although i had one and it carried my bass rig ( hartke hd3500, hartke 4x12 cab, & a hartke 1x 15+2x10 cab), cable bags, Mackie PA, stools,speaker and mic stands, music stands, and still had room to spare. You can pick up a decent one on a W plate for around a grand and they go forever.

Go for a SAAB 9000 - the straight 2 litre models are not high on insurance and you can get up to 35 mpg, they run forever and you can move house with them (voice of experience).

Got a 01/02 Ford Mondeo 2.0ltr TDCI, done 190,000mls but drives spot on, in silver. My personal car is a 98 Mondeo 1.9TD estate, done 310,000mls. Can get my bass rig and the drummers gear in no probs, on thr m/way it will return almost 50mpg and still pull over 100mph. Great car.

Got a few cars forsale at the moment so send me a pm and I will give you my contact no.
