Yeah, no way would you get a used car here in Australia for 250 pounds. Only thing you might get is a civic with a blown headgasket and trashed body. You need to spend at least 1k aud to get something that runs and drives.
I once bought a car for £1 when I worked for webuyanycarS.com (a rip off webuyanycar.com) and a lady in central London called us with a Ford ka and I offered the £1 as the fees for us to collect it were higher than it's value so as a gesture the £1 was offered. The car was mint, 1 owner low mileage and when the driver arrived with the car a trader was waiting with £750 who went on to sell it for £1200ish. It's a rarity but as a motor trader it's a story I love to tell. 🤘

And gets to somewhere in the north of France like... Mont St Michel without breaking down. Or the cheaper closer UK Michaels mount or go for it and the scottish highlands. Assuming you can afford recovery for 3 shitboxes.
I think that site might be a bit wrong, as there's a UK owner's club for Ladas and they have quite decent sized meetups - a friend of mine (who is, admittedly, quite, quite mad) has two Rivas and a Niva, all currently road legal, so I know there are definitely a few left.
They want rich celebrities to host and for me they are not that interesting or funny. Remember how terrible the other versions of top gear are like in America, Australia. That is exactly what has happened to the English one. They should completely change the style, make it real not staged, keep it cheap to produce.

Man I bought a k11 Micra for £200 and I'd happily drive that to Scotland from the south coast of England and back (if you pay for petrol and accomodation ;) ) If you know what you're looking for and don't care about aesthetics (helps if you don't mind working on it yourself too) then you can grab a reliable car for a good price.

OK, here's a challenge. From where you live (any of the three of you's house), buy an open top car and all 3 travel together in it and complete the Conde Nast 500 by 08:00hrs 3 days later (72 hours). Budget £1200 to include all meals, accomodation (no sleeping in car and must be booked after you start), all food and petrol. But when on the 500, it MUST be daylight.
You should do a series on the Volvo👌🏼 reliability, how many miles from a tank, how many on fuel light, how much stuff you can get in the back etc and what it takes to kill a Volvo😂
It doesn't work though. Most people who would buy a £250 car don't have motor traders insurance. Plus as road Tax now cannot be transferred to a new owner he would have had to pay road tax to legally be able to drive it on the road.. To buy a car, insure it, tax it, fuel it for £250 is impossible.. This video is far from realistic
@@cacca8 Dipende come lo fai. Sotto i 55 kw (mi pare) costano tutti uguale, poi va ad aumentare. Io ho fatto l'atto del passaggio in comune (26 cent) e con quello sono andato diretto al PRA. Se passi per un'agenzia pratiche auto (anche solo un ACI) capace che ti buttano su più di 100 euro. Poi da regione a regione cambia. Sta di fatto che è una merda.
Sono d'accordo, sto cercando la mia prima auto da ormai troppo tempo, ma i prezzi per la burocrazia sono davvero troppo elevati, vedere che in questo video riescono a comprare una macchina funzionante, fare benzina e comprare da mangiare usando 250£ fa quasi ridere
@@nicolascocco7103 Negli UK ci sta proprio la categoria di gente così, si chiamano "Retroriders". Gente fanatica di auto normali anni 80,90 o primi 00, e ci fanno pure i raduni.
I bought a 1997 V40 for 300 Euro 2 years ago. It still works absolutely fine, use it every day, including to carry stuff like furniture. They really are great cars. It's been dead reliable for me also.
Bought Yaris for £200, drove it for 3 years and 65.000 miles, then sold it for scrap for £70. Only thing that ever needed actual replacement was exhaust (rotted to bits) and needed to get tyres for MOT. Just regular oil changes every 10.000 miles, and couple of lightbulbs. Absolute best value for money ever.
that's the whole point of this challenge... even the cheapest cars in the UK (Tata) are ~£6000 for a new car... most small cars start around £10k before insurance, tax or any options (e.g. Aygo / VW Up!).... normally an annual service / road tax will cost you £250... the only cars you get at £250 will normally not be roadworthy within a year, unless you spend a LOT of time/money.... probably both! Which makes it fun...
Not seen Top Gear since Clarkson & Co left apart from the first episode of the new series with Flintoff, Matt LeBlanc & Co. This is heaps better than that and I'm not surprised you have 3+ million subs and good views. Like it how you purchase cars that anyone can afford, it really shows what bargains you can get for a little run about, or not. Good name as well. Sub'd.
For 250 in Croatia you get a decent yearly public transport pass. Cars under €3000 are a no go, also you must be extremely carefull with more expensive used pieces because most of them are crap imported from Germany

Plus as road Tax now cannot be transferred to a new owner he would have had to pay road tax to legally be able to drive it on the road..
To buy a car, insure it, tax it, fuel it for £250 is impossible.. This video is far from realistic
RetroPhil82 you must be fun at parties
Easily pleased, yob fun,
a sad impersonation of T Gear.
And totally unrealistic.
"How far is Essex?"
"You don't wanna go there"

Jaketime04 nothing to explain... i don’t live in the UK either... just figure it out... but the joke is brilliant... because i do know Essex.
@@idi0cr4cy What's so funny about Essex? Why not laugh at Middlesex? I don't see how this is funny..
Ottoman Gaming because loads of trash live up there... not all of them...
@@turgut104 I agree what you are secretly saying, everyone out side of essex are dick heads lol
In Italy i should have paid the 250 pound for the owner switch papers 🤦
Quanta verità. Il minimo possibile di passaggio sono 270 euro, almeno qui in Friuli. La mia prima macchina è stata una panda da 300 euro, pazzesco.
@@Staples-King davvero io per la mia go speso più di 400 a Firenze
@@cacca8 Dipende come lo fai. Sotto i 55 kw (mi pare) costano tutti uguale, poi va ad aumentare. Io ho fatto l'atto del passaggio in comune (26 cent) e con quello sono andato diretto al PRA. Se passi per un'agenzia pratiche auto (anche solo un ACI) capace che ti buttano su più di 100 euro. Poi da regione a regione cambia. Sta di fatto che è una merda.
Sono d'accordo, sto cercando la mia prima auto da ormai troppo tempo, ma i prezzi per la burocrazia sono davvero troppo elevati, vedere che in questo video riescono a comprare una macchina funzionante, fare benzina e comprare da mangiare usando 250£ fa quasi ridere
@@nicolascocco7103 Negli UK ci sta proprio la categoria di gente così, si chiamano "Retroriders". Gente fanatica di auto normali anni 80,90 o primi 00, e ci fanno pure i raduni.
I bought a 2002 Volvo v40 2 years ago, 3 months ago I bought a 325i e90 BMW and I still have the Volvo and I still love it.
I bought a 1997 V40 for 300 Euro 2 years ago. It still works absolutely fine, use it every day, including to carry stuff like furniture. They really are great cars. It's been dead reliable for me also.
Car Throttle: turns on v40, smells fuel and becomes concerned
Me, a v40 owner "that's normal"
Smell of victory before a battle, actually :D
EVAP?
yall somehow fixed up Miles but... never fixed the aircon?
Or the rear windows, thought they totally sorted it out at Skoda?
Looks like it was all a scam :P
@@boytechnichian they said something about electrical issues
And the tracking is still miles out
And the roof is dirty o.O
Loved it! I can't believe I've discovered this channel only a week ago! (Thanks to my new E46 Touring that I've just bought) :D
8 pounds over just sell the roof rack for a tenner en you got 2 pounds to spair
OMG!
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR DAEWOO NEXIA FOR YEARS!
When I was younger my dad had one and I absolutely loved it
I like how the dog gave a filthy look when the words "I like the Daewoo" were shat in to the ether.
So what I've taken from this is Alex can't kick a ball 😂 Great content as always
These type of videos r the reason I subscribed to carthrottle 👍
Try playing this now, won’t even get a car that starts and runs 😂
True
Damn
I think Ethan is a young James May. You guys need a TV or netflix deal
Better a Netflix Deal...
@@nordmann1 right, well either way they deserve much more publicity than just youtube. These guys are awesome
Now you should fix it and sell it, to make enough profits to host a party on the beach
Bought Yaris for £200, drove it for 3 years and 65.000 miles, then sold it for scrap for £70.
Only thing that ever needed actual replacement was exhaust (rotted to bits) and needed to get tyres for MOT.
Just regular oil changes every 10.000 miles, and couple of lightbulbs.
Absolute best value for money ever.
Guys, you have to give Miles an AC. Miles deserves an AC!
In my country you would get a low end cycle in 195 pounds !
I have just got an ok cycle (motorbike) for £20 :D
in india?
@@Adityabose123 yo boi
In my country you can only get a little scooter not electric ether 😓(usa)
that's the whole point of this challenge... even the cheapest cars in the UK (Tata) are ~£6000 for a new car... most small cars start around £10k before insurance, tax or any options (e.g. Aygo / VW Up!).... normally an annual service / road tax will cost you £250... the only cars you get at £250 will normally not be roadworthy within a year, unless you spend a LOT of time/money.... probably both! Which makes it fun...
Car Throttle if became popular and popular, will be the next future Top Gear.
In Hungary that Volvo would be around £1000, and probably in worse condition
About £2500 here in the U.S.
Jóhogy :-D Pacsi magyarok
Same here in France. I recently bought a 23 year old Twingo with 182k km on the clock. Mechanical in good condition,but that’s about it: 900€. 😒

Not seen Top Gear since Clarkson & Co left apart from the first episode of the new series with Flintoff, Matt LeBlanc & Co.
This is heaps better than that and I'm not surprised you have 3+ million subs and good views.
Like it how you purchase cars that anyone can afford, it really shows what bargains you can get for a little run about, or not.
Good name as well.
Sub'd.
I bought a 94 Toyota Camry with 50 cents and a half pack of chewing gum.
How

Do you not get the joke? ahaha
Aaaah pre-Corona - when we still were allowed to walk freely with our friends in tow.
For 250 in Croatia you get a decent yearly public transport pass.
Cars under €3000 are a no go, also you must be extremely carefull with more expensive used pieces because most of them are crap imported from Germany
One of the best videos you guys have ever done I recommend you do more!!🙂🙂🙂
So in Canada for 350$ you get a brand new bicycle
Most bikes here (Scotland) same currency as England most bikes are the £180
Now we're "not" in the EU we can sell you cheeper bikes 👌😂
