Apparently they escort you to cash machines now!

Found absolutely tonnes of cheap cars on Gumtree, looks to be the place to bag a bargain!

[chrisr103]

Thats where I advertise all my cheaper ones 

[bobbarley]

Is that because it's cheap/free to advertise on there?

[chrisr103]

Yeah,

Free to advertise on Gumtree,

I normally give my cars a week on there with free advertising & after that pay for Ebay advert.

Definitely keeping my eyes peeled on there for decent cars.

We're loioking for something with manual gearbox, diesel if possible but petrol is better than nothing, if on your travels you find something nice
