Default Re: "New" second hand car

Bought this today. He was asking £1495 but we got down to £1330 as I need to replace a lower suspension arm ball joint (may just replace the arm as well as it's a quick job and parts are cheap) and I shall put a new tyre on one of the rear wheels.
Car came with roof bars, towbar and electrics fitted, space saver wheel and tyre in the boot, and a proper spare wheel and tyre.
It's very clean and tidy, drives well, runs quietly and everything works as it should. The cambelt and water pump were recently replaced and it had a full service at the same time. It's also just had a new battery.



It's the 2008 model 207hdi SW estate, 1600cc engine and £30 a year road tax.

The pre 2008 versions had a reputation for blowing up the turbo (My ex wife's 2007 Peugot 207 did it to two turbos) as the oil feed pipe to the turbo was too small and got clogged with carbon deposits, starving the turbo of oil. However, the system was altered on the 2008 - onward models which stopped it happening thankfully.
