http://bangernomics.editboard.com/what-is-bangernomics-f1/-t1.htm Hello everyone, I just wondered what you thought Bangernomics actually meant. Originally I reckoned it was buying cheap and then running into the ground, although now I think it is about value. Used car prices are so low that you can buy much more car for themoney.

And it's nothing to do with the credit crunch. A friend of mine is easily selling around three £4k-£10 cars a week, and a friend of his sold 10 diesels the week before, all over £5k.
