my car is a 2001 SE exec accord auto saloon with only 80000 on the clock.
My last MOT was a pass but I was warned that the next one would require some serious welding.
I started to look for a replacement but unless I spend silly money cannot find anything as good.
So I took it in for a preMOT check and an estimate and it passed on everything with flying colours except for the afore warned welding.
This will cost me £550 to have done, it is nasty, up the inner arches.
I will also need 2 new tyres soon @£120 and a Mot @£40.
Thus for just over £700, which I know is more than it is worth, I get at least another years motoring out of a car which I know has a faultless engine , gearbox and electrics.
I know this initially seems illogical but where can I get a reliable car for £700?
