What will 5k get me these days?
Hi guys, been a member on here since my last kitcar and now looking another.
Ive 5k to spend, and want a non pinto car, ideally a BEC. But consider a good zetec/redtop etc.
other niceties include IRS, LSD and road legal (not essential).
So whats about? I missed a tiger avon 2L zetec with trailer there for 4500 so there are bargains about Im sure.
Cheers all

Plenty of cars for sale at the moment - have you looked on Piston Heads?
Most BECs seem to be around the £6k an upwards mark from what Iv'e seen.

that one looks well, Id need to gauge what needs finishing and how much would need done for SVA.
I think if buying a non SVAed car it would need to be cheaper.

firstly SVA is gone; replaced by IVA more -test cost more plus you need reverse gear - expensive to buy and would need fair bit of dismantling to fit
(unless it has one already).
plus all the other bits - how much time and cost to put them right to passs IVA?
unregistered cars obvioulsy will be cheaper.
take at look at this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1062622.htm ready to go - I'll bet you getthat for less than £ 6 k.
smart51 is selling BEC - I'll bet you can haggle too.

Don't forget to budget for an item or furniture, new carpets or an expensive item of jewelry for your wife. I always find that "wife
approval" comes at a price...

I think you're right Are you sure £5000 is your maximum? My £7000 asking price is an opening for negotiation but I'm not going to give
it away for £5000.

I paid 3.8 for this
Nigh on 200 bhp, hadles well, goes like stink, and looks sexy as hell
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
