Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

YepAlways spend either peanuts on a car or buy new/very nearly new with manufacturers warranty - at least two years of.
Anything in between always has the risk of some expensive failure - just like your Astra. At least if the car cost £400 you don't give a shit and can send it down the scrapper.
I hope this doesn't sound smug - I've learnt the hard way myself over the years!
