So you went for the forester then. Nice one :thumright:

Looks really clean. Was this the one with the service history in Japanese?

sold it the same day.

over the two years i owned it I had people leave notes under the windscreen asking if i wanted to sell it. called them all up and it went to the first person who had a look.

although it looks like its off to africa now!

Carcraft is only good to sit in a variety of cars and get an idea of what you find comfortable.

Better to go to Yes Car Credit because they have tarts in green bodywarmers ;)
