July 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Although nearly 10 years old the car had only 50K on the clock (verified by MOT Certs) and receipt showing new timing belt. It has been totally reliable and a great "utility" vehicle. Does all that I ask of it. 60mpg, £30 road tax, can park it in the smallest of spaces. Its not the fastest but ticks so many boxes.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted a reliable and economical commuter,.
