Title: How much for a runaround? Post by: G1BTW on December 11, 2009, 08:07:38 PM My mate is looking to buy a runaround motor, no frills, not even nice looking, just reliable. How much do you have to shell out for the best chance of reliability and least likelihood of forking out endlessly for repairs? What are the best models to go for? Betterto go to a dealer than private?
He's a real nit. Title: Re: How much for a runaround? Post by: RED-DOG on December 11, 2009, 09:25:20 PM If you know what you're looking for, you can buy a reliable runabout for less than £500. If you don't, you can easily spend 5k on a lump of corruption.
