Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I don't care about what people think - if they judge me for driving a 9 year old car that's their problem!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Parents rather surprised at what you can get 'banger' money these days.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - excellent value
What are you likely to buy next?
If this one packs up, and I still have a need for a cheap car that can take a bit of abuse , I might give a Pug 406 a go.

£400

May 2008

Can't get much cheaper than £400!

Needed a cheap car as a runaround, also something that drive up and drive a country track without me worrying about damage or scratches! Experience with a previous Mondeo that served me well for 7 years encouraged me to bid for this one at a local auction.

Far easier than a Mondeo Mk4!
