Looked at a VW Golf for 700 E. Took it for a test drive. Exhaust kaput, no brakes, door won't close and stank of stale cigarettes. Offered 400 Euros and was glad that owner refused to sell under 500. Went home.

Drove to some used car dealers in Cologne and looked at an Opel Astra: pitiful sight and overflowing ashtray for 500 E, Chrysler Voyager: unreliable motor for 1000 E. ........Mitsubishi something for 1000 E: had enough of all the trash. Went home.

Saw a good looking Opel Vectra (like Jamal's old one!) fro 590 E. Italian dealer told me that he keeps the cheap cars on another site and had to wait for half an hour so we could drive there. Car looked promising but didn't start. No petrol. Went home.

Went to a dealer who had a Mercedes 200 for 990 E. and an Opel Omega for 790 E. Was given the keys and no one disturbed while I took my time to check them. Was glad that it is possible to find cars which are a little respectable. Went home.
Will watch the internet regularly for interesting cars.
