      I can top that (ish) picked up a mk2 Megane Grandtour for £400. So far over the last 3 MOTs it's cost me about £130 in vital parts, roughly. Admittedly I've done my own work and servicing but still, that's cheap motoring! Mind you, it needs a headlight bulb as of yesterday 😂

It was riddled with electrical faults that left it in limb mode and dangerous feeling to drive on the motorway due to its self imposed rev limit. The issues couldnt be fixed due to the cars software bein so outdated there was no update available to fix it. Only saving grace was the heated seats 👌

    That Fiat has some nice Whiskey-Dents on it :)
    By the way, if it doesn't start after fueling it, it's likely to be the fuel tank vent valve stuck open. A common problem. (It's an anti-pollution device that vents fuel fumes from the gas tank into the engines air intake. The valve is usually closed until the engine is warm. Fueling causes excess fumes in the tank and an open valve = mixture too rich).

    I might be biased since I’m Swedish, but I’d pick that s40 over the other two easily. The S40 is such a shit car, but I’d still pick that heap of junk over the other two. Should’ve gone for a 7/940/5 though. Way more fun.

    My first car was a white Metro. We took the back seat out so we could get 6 of us in it.
