I am thinking of selling the other half's low mileage "58" Peugeot 207 to release some funds towards a deposit to help us move house hopefully in the new year. we buy any car has suggested its worth about £2,300 (to them).
The missus will obviously still need a shopping trolley, and it wont be the 90q so need to find a cheap-as-chips alternative, something that will last at least a year, be fairly bomb proof, but dont want to spend more than about £800 so I can keep the lions share of the sale of the Peugeot.
Soooo, I've been offered a lime green 1997 A4 Avant 1.9 Tdi (red "i") quattro for £500. Needs brakes and tyres for its mot which is just out. Its done just over 135,000 miles, recent timing belt (2012) has a tow bar fitted, sports seats, illuminated vanity mirrors, front leccy windows but sunroof not climate. Overall though its clean and from about 10 yards looks the part on 16 inch alloys.
Is this utter folly?!
opinions please!
