Trader is gonna make sod all when (s)he punts it on sent from my HTC using proboards android app well they seem to sell for £4k/4.5k ish at that age/mileage,so £2k in px would be reasonable imho, yes dad's need's a bit of fettleing but what px doesnt  dad would probably take £1800 as px if pushed downward's,depending on cost to change |

I think a clutch and bumper is probably more than you can class as a bit of fettling sent from my HTC using proboards android app |

Nice cars those Mondys. A very smooth drive, with plenty of toys for the boys Just take your time buying one as there's plenty out there. The one's you've chosen seem to have highish mileages. Is that the sort of car you're wishing to buy?? |

Obviosly going to be juicier on fuel, but is better suited to short journeys/lower mileage |

Plenty about if you know where to look. I think I mentioned this a few months ago didn't I?  I wouldn't go near a diesel if he only does very low mileage per annum. |
