The Asian man and the car

[JodieWodie]

It was hard
And long

I sweated, screamed, moaned...


But it was worth it in the end !!

YES
yes....
...

yes

...


I finally have bought a used car !!

What a bluddy cut-throat business people ! The cars advertised are either sold, cr*p or over-priced

I think I got a bargain today, well I know I have
An L plate Ford Fiesta, ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE outside and in ! No,... truly And only 50K on the clock. Cost me 400 squiddles
Surely that is good ? Yeah ?
I mean, my old car had 120,000 on the clock and that was the same price. It is obv well looked after
I am just so glad the searching is finally over. Stress or what.

And I bought it from an asian couple. And they were soooooooo wonderful ! They INSISTED to the point of almost tears that we go into their house and have a drink of spirits with them !! We had to refuse as it was getting late (and we had food shopping to do with a kid in tow)...
He even said "Take the car now...you only live up the road, you are my neighbours almost... give me £50 deposit and just take it"

I wish everyone in the world was so trusting

Sounds like you got a bargain. Or it could just be that he has been transpoting bomb making equipment in it and wants shot before the police come a knocking. Only joking.

Jodie,

Congratulations, sounds a good deal , 50000 mile is like a new engine hahaha for a 1994 car it is good mileage.

I like to see that he is a trusting guy, nice one and look after and live in excellent health and be careful and hope every thing is well.

Pass my regards, to the family.

Thanks.

My first car was an £800 Escort and it was a pile of shit, I didn't know anything about cars at the time, bought that from a guy called Tariq

Althought I bought my BMW from someone called Javid and it's been solid for 1.5years.

I've just bought my first car! £77 '82 Escort 1.1 Mk3! Let the good times roll! (77K miles for a 24 year old car and they are only owners from new )

lets see 1994, thats 12 years old.
12,500 miles a year = (1)50,000 miles.
I think its been around the clock........


Only kidding. I had a couple of fiesta's, loved 'em.

Over the last couple of years I have taken to buying cheap cars and just using them for a year, before scapping/selling them.

It turns out that you can pretty much swap cars every year, without any outlay (except the dreaded ins/mot/tax) once you have a car worth about £300-£500 squids.

My car at the moment is a J reg Golf with 120000 on the clock, and it cost my nothing cos i sold the engine out of my last car (200SX) for 400.

Sod paying for decent cars, I would rather spend the money on my bike

Or you could do what Ive done and buy a VW polo with 40k on it, one lady owner from new, full VW service history from new. £400. Ive put lots and lots of miles on it, put bikes/wardrobes/trees in it, and it doesnt miss a beat, theres no rust, and the only thing ive paid for is 4 tyres, which ~I got by buying a 160,000mile polo at the auctions for £50, drove it home, took out the remaining £5 of fuel, took the tyres, exhaust and loads of other bits off it, then wieghed it in for £25. So other than fuel cost I have spent £20 on my car this year, its due a service now which I will do, and I have no doubt that it will pass its MOT with no problems. I still reckon I'll make a profit when I come to sell it.
