KICKING TYRES
James Ruppert
Rover 600 and Honda Accord are equally good banger buys. Funny, that
Always buy on condition, not price. That’s why the ongoing debate about whether the traditional few-hundred-quid banger is dead is irrelevant. The used car market decides what the asking price is, and whether the customer pays that is another matter. Roadworthiness is the deciding factor, and if the price is low, that’s a bonus.
I’m saying this because I’ve stumbled across a dealer with a 2003 Mitsubishi Carisma 1.6 Elegance to sell – your typical unwanted part exchange with a solid 160,000 miles.
