Show me what (the equivalent) $500 would get you in your country.
Bonus points when you can get actually something decent and running.

>>14450731

I'm currently hunting for leather twingo with glass roof and 16v 75hp engine. Budget is 1000-1200€. My current twingo is getting old.
Buy it for 450, spend 20$ on scrap steel and a grinding bit and weld the frame, and spend the other 30$ left on air fresheners and spraycans.

I mean fuck only 125k miles that shitll last another 30-60k before the fuel pump goes and i can pick one up for 10$.
For approx. $250 i bought a working mk iv jetta tdi

Alright.
$500 = £275
Car sat on a driveway for half a decade.
£170 ($246) bought it
£45 ($65) battery got it running (and running damn good I might add)
£25 ($36) wiper blades let me see where I was going
= £240 ($348) for a well looked after car with 16k miles, a mint interior and five like new tyres. Even if I factor in insurance, MOT and road tax I'm still only into the thing for like £300 ($435). Hoping I can sell it for twice that.
>>14451076
How the hell wasn't it rusted to shit? It's uk, and it's a swift. Mindfucked.
>>14451076
>Hoping I can sell it for twice that.
meh.
after having such fucking awesome luck I'd rather drive the shit out of this fuck instead of flipping it
500usd ~350 uk pounds
>>14451149
>not even a 316i
>it's the whopping 1.8 engine
I don't even want to know the amount of problems lurk in that car.
>>14451149
Paid more for a VW Lupo that has 126k miles on it. Can only imagine the amount of shit that is wrong with that car.
>>14451118
It's weird. The slam panel under the bonnet is quite rusty but the sills and floor are totally solid.
>>14451126
I know what you mean but I've got another one that has more equipment, is a better colour and has a bit less rust. It also has Goodyear tyres and the silver one has tyres made in Serbia so yeah.

For $800 a twin turbo soarer with rego just got sold.

Got this for 500 usd in Utah.
>>14452429
Pretty legit really desu senpaii.
>>14452429
how do you like the broncoII?
what engine/tranny you rocking? I am thinking of getting one.
Well theres a 97 Blazer (needs rear brake line) or a 97 VW Jetta TDI that probably needs more
This is a legit $500 truck.
I bought it, and drive it home shortly after getting a battery.
I then proceeded to dump $400 into it in smog equipment and testing because california.
Then about $300 more in tires, front springs, front driveshaft.
It would have been an alright deal in any other state.
would be a hell of a lot easier in the US had cash for clunkers never occurred

a beat to shit1990 or older jeep cherokee xj
i bought one for that much once
once.
Semester bus passes are $240 in Canada.
So a little less than a year on the bus.
Apparently I could buy unwanted 80's shitboxes with +300,000 km on the odometer. Also, shitbox Peugeots with electrical problems (wouldn't have them even if they were free)
Samara or Gemini?
>>14452703
Also this. 1956 Super 88 Coupe. Only a step away from being melted into forks.

This mirage looks pretty nice, it'll keep running for awhile and seems to be in decent shape.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5436931151.html
This sentra looks like shit but I would imagine still has a lot of life in it. The ad is a bit concerning but nothing you couldn't figure out in person.
>>14452644
This will happen again very soon, I'm totally sure.
One of these in fair condition... seriously. You do not get a working car for that amount. The money you get for simply turning the car to the wreckers is like $350, so you could probably imagine what something running and approved would cost
Pair it with an afternoon and you're golden

Is this a horse power generator?
>>14452584
I have the 2.9 manual, it's really gutless.
I mean, it was 500 dollars, but if you get one I would recommend holding out for a 1990 model. I believe they come with a 4.0 and Dana 35s (mine has the 29s).
This 1990 Probe GT.
There's also a 96 Civic that's extremely well kept, but then I kept reading and saw that she's selling it for $500 so she can pay for her husband's bail.
>>14451076
>that fucking moss
sometimes i'm glad I live in a desert
i got one of these a couple years ago
it only had 10 000 or so km on it but it leaked oil like a sonofabitch
of course i get the only honda that leaks
https://eastidaho.craigslist.org/cto/5443700877.html
Hell yeah motherfucker.
>>14456213
which will then result in the man coming home to find that his prized civic is gone, he'll murder the wife, and then he'll be back in the pen

stop talking out our ass.
if you took a moment to look it up you'd have learned that in this case the automatic transmission not only makes the car take several seconds longer to 60mph, it also makes it consume over a whole fucking liter more in 100km.
those are also numbers you fucking feel while driving.
in some cases, memes are actually spot fucking on.
>>14450731
this cute little guy
(i should actually buy this, i need a DD and this is right around the corner for 500$)
RWD shitbox hoon mobiles for dirt cheap. I bet half of those aren't even that bad in a condition, probably all of them are roadworthy with minor fixes.

Twingo's quickshift is shit in terms of reliability and parts are a pain in the ass to buy.
On topic, 126p is the cheapest option. You could probably find one even as cheap as 200PLN (50USD)
