Covid has sent the car market into a spin. Nearly new cars are fetching as much as their brand new counterparts due to lack of supply. PCH makes less sense as depreciation has seemingly evaporated.
At the other end of the car market, the one that keeps wheel bearings and handbrake cables on the shelves of your local motor factors is the cheap and cheerful motoring to be had out of something much older, kept for daily duties, dog transport, Tesco car parks and putting big miles on cheap remoulds.
The world of bangernomics. It was once cars under £500 with a bit of MOT. Today it's probably a few grand.
Lets use this thread to post up your daily bangernomics hack, or post up any marketplace corkers you've seen to help others in their search for motoring on the slimmest of budgets.

We buy any car - what a massive difference in price in 4 months..
I kind of enjoy having something around the 1k mark....park it anywhere without worrying, put the dogs in the boot, use it for a dump run....then swap it for something else after a few months. I’ve been doing it for years, it’s hard to beat! I couldn’t do it without a toy or two in the garage...
