There are a number of really dodgy used cars for sale out there. You will more than likely want to stay away from the four used cars below. Luckily most of these cars should be long gone to the scrap yard, but here are some reminders just in case.

- A car that was once quite commonly seen on roads in Britain was the Trabat. It was quite popular during the sixties and during the early seventies. When it comes to ugly cars they broke the mold after this one. It would even make the .likes of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt feel ‘un-cool’. Once we were prepared to drive anything that came with a motor; luckily those days have passed us now.

- The AMC Pacer didn’t sell very well in the UK; which is a blessing all things considered. This car looked cheap and gaudy but the manufacturers were meant to be going for a futuristic look. Don’t even bother to stop if you find one of these cars for sale.

- If people pointing and laughing at your car is not something that would bother you then you could always buy a Triumph TR7. Remember that Oscar Wilde is famous for saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity. If you want to stand out from the crowd get yourself a Triumph TR7.

- Of the few cars that many people would not want to be driving, the Nissan Micra is right up there among them. This car would even make a criminal feel ashamed unless he had a mask on.

So keep these four cars in mind when you are looking for a used car. This is not meant to be any type of comprehensive list, but you get the idea. If for some reason you do come across one of these bangers during your travels and you do want to buy, just make sure you get change from twenty quid.

This reserach will let you find the best cars available for each category you look at. And when you finally finish your research, you could find yourself leaving the car delears with a splendid used car cumbria or even a used car dorset.
