The Prime Minister has surprised the owner of a local car dealership by turning up to buy a second-hand motor for just ?1,500.

David Cameron arrived at the Witney Used Car Centre in Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire over the weekend to view a car for his wife, Samantha.

Owner Iain Harris said that the Conservative left with a 2004 blue Nissan Micra with 93,000 miles on the clock.

Mr Harris told Yahoo! News that the Prime Minister visited the garage after his ?security detail rang up and gave notice.?

He described the Prime Minister as a ?down to earth kind of bloke.?

?He came specifically to look at that car ? he must have seen it online,? he added.

?It was totally surreal,? he told Mail Online. ?I got a call on Friday night to say that the Prime Minister was on his way round to look at one of our cars. I thought it was one of my mates, winding me up.?

?I couldn?t believe it when he turned up. He said it had to be something made in the UK. I joked that he wouldn?t want a red car.?

Cameron is reported to have driven off in the car himself ? a far cry from what he?s used to.

He has more money then brain then again could be Samantha money from child benefit he was buying for Of course, there?s nothing wrong with a Nissan Micra, but some have speculated the timing of the PM?s ?man of the people? trip could have had something to do with a certain referendum coming up next month.

I know a publicity stunt when I see one; wonder if we?ll be seeing it parked outside Number 10?

"Cameron is reported to have driven off in the car himself" What's the betting that he didn't arrange road tax and insurance before he drove off !!

Its a bit suspect!!!!! Independent The aide ? normally a position for people who help Government ministers ? receives up to ?53,000 for advising the prime minister's 44-year-old wife, according to the Mail Online. Daily Mail Her salary as creative director was said to be ?400,000 in 2010, but when her husband became PM, she opted to work part-time as ?creative consultant? on a reported ?100,000 a year. Her father is Sir Reginald Sheffield. Stepfather is William Waldorf Astor III Obviously need a cheap motor

Not spending money is how people manage to save money *shrug* only a few ways to get rich quick, win the lotto, rob a bank or fiddle your expenses. Must have been a good deal between second hand car salesmen....
