Hi All,
I'm new on Cyrpus and looking for a good car under 1000 pounds. Been looking around but there are not many for sale for that price. Currently I stay in Lefcosia. I like the old Mini and an old VW Beetle but it seems they are expensive. If someone sells his/her car, under 1000 pounds, please send me a reply. I would be very pleased.
Greetings,
Steven |

There isn't much you can buy for that money.
Get yourself an AutoTrader magazine and good luck! |

You can not find a good car under 1000. You can find a bad car under 1000 or a good car over 1000  |

I found a good car under 1000 pounds. A Toyota for 500! Besides that I
found that there are many good cars available under 1000 pounds. You can
look in the 'small adds paper' and find many.
Besides, how much for the suzuki samurai?
Thanks for the replies!

Hi Dee,,
When you go to a 'periptero' (small shop on the street) you can find these greek papers. Unfortunatly I do not know the name now but when you browse through a few papares there or ask the guy/woman for the paper with small adds I'm possitive you will find it. Most of the adds are in Greek though but when looking at the car section it is easy to see what is offered and what the price is. Just call the number that's with the add. Almost all cypriots speak english. Make an appointment on a square for instance, since I guess you won't have transport yet.
An obvious warning:
Be a carefull and cautious. Buying a car without any knowledge about cars can be tricky. This is ofcourse the same everywhere (Britain or Holland alike). Do not just trust everyone. Try out everything if it all works, drive the car around, listen good and don't be shy to do so . Maybe it's sensible to make a list of everything you can think of that's on a car and check it: windows, mirrors, wipers, gearbox, sound of the engine etc etc.
It's a cheap car but under a 1000 pounds is also quite some money and I believe is worth a good car (even if it's maybe a bit crappy looking from outside). Toyota's and other japanese cars are mostly the most trustworthy.
Succes!

hi Steve thanks for the advise came a bit too late for me as I bought a car (Japanese) a month ago and the gearbox has already seized, was however trying to find a cheap way to advertise some mobile phones that I'm trying to sell, so i can pay for the darn repairs...
Best Regards |

I read your other posts now and I see......
Some other advice if you might buy an other one: When buying a car check if it has MOT from this or last year and that the insurrances have also been payed all years. Otherwise you end up paying the bills for someone else  . Also it is better to take a gearbox instead of an automatic since a normal gearbox is more reliable. (Don't know if you had a normal one but oke.) The best is to find someone who can help you evaluate a car and who has a bit of knowledge. Ask someone you trust if he/she knows someone. In this way you have more security that you won't buy a bad bargain again.
