    Im nearing my 17th birthday at the end of may, and would like to buy a 2nd hand car, have saved up a few thousand already, but want to try and push this and get an extra £500, so anyone got any jobs that they would like me to complete for them, or ideas which i could do?

    Im at college in the UK, if thats relevant.

    Thanks in advance

    The best thing to do would be to either start a money making project of your own (website, blog etc) or checkout the B/S/T section for legit money making opportunities. That equals to around $985, so it is possible by the end of May, but you just have to find the right thing to do which can generate nice income.

    Buy a bucket, a big sponge, fairy liquid, a chamois cloth and some car polish.

    Go down a row of houses and offer to clean their cars for £2.

    If you get 30 customers/day, that £60/day.

    Do it for 10 days, and that £600!

    Then buy your car, and rest them aching shoulders for a month!

    What kind of first car do you want?

    If you have a couple of thousand that should cover you!

    did that for a while @ £10 a car, worked well, then all of a sudden noone wanted it done. could try it again tho.... dont have much time, because i have a job which is for one day a weekend, and the other day is needed to see family/friends and college work.

    I believe if you want the 500E really fast the start to do freelancing jobs..
    yet if you want to make 500E long term then start up a website :D

    yeah i think freelancing is the way to go, or i could create a site then sell it on in a few months time.

    not sure what i could offer freelancing tho?

    Yeah, thats a great idea, I have done over 50 articles since I started.

    Another idea, got junk around the house, sell it on bid junk free listing no fees.

    $2 was for 100-250 words sometimes 300 words. I am a nice guy.


    Now all articles from 100-300 words is $2.50, 300 words and up is $7.50

    I can tell you this you wont get insured on a mk4 golf. Trust me... I tried it with a 1series bmw i had no chance and I'm 18.

    If your willing to sell that tshirt site, let me know or ill pay you if you can help me get one going like it.
