Just missed an XR4x4 for £50 in the local paper by 10 mins. It was only 3 miles away as well

Really annoying thing is that the paper was delivered over an hour ago and has been sat on the door mat.

Come on somebody. One crashed in through the front door and the driver said you could keep it and gave you money to cover the damage? It must have happened to someone.

I got my first one for £40, but the guy threw in a brand new clutch that he said cost him £60 and a haynes manual thats £15 odd, so I make that -£35. The only downside was we had to tow it for about 7 miles cuz the clutch release bearing was completely knackered!
