Summary
What does this car say about you?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it, amazed at the value.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, but I may get the 2.2 155hp engine as it has similar mpg and insurance not too bad yet much quicker.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
January 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes - but only because I traded in elsewhere. I bought from cargiant, but sold my previous car back to the dealer I got it from originaly for £700 more then cargiant offered. Fair enough, they seel the cars cheap so trade in won't be great but I was suprised how low it was (on the phone they told me I'd get a competitive price!). Could have got more by selling privately but this was much easier.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted something big, quiet, reasonably powerful, lots of toys, decent sound system and not too expensive to run.
What was the dealer like?
Happy for you to take keys and look at cars, bit rushed as I went in the evening and they need ages to get the car ready.
