Cars For $100.
After watching Top Gear I desided to start this forum.
If you can find a car that costs $100 Post It Here.
If you can Get Pictures that would be great.

Just a small point that might make the topic a bit easier is that Top Gear gave them each £100, which roughly equals $177! (at time of writing)

Uhm...for that amount of money, around here I never saw a running car.. you can find something but they are in the worst condition you can imagine and before beeing able to use them on the road you have to repair them at least a bit and take them to the place were you can get an "omologation" for it..
And still, even the worst one are around 250 GBP...
