Another to the dark side
 
Today was an expensive day.


I've been after a car for a while, and bit the bullet today..
Ended up with a W reg pug 206 with a 2 litre turbo diesel :rolleyes:
I'd been looking at plenty of cars, me and dad went to Wrights in Downham Market after work today, had a look, had a word with the fella there and told him there wasn't much point us looking too close as the mirror was attached by gaffer tape... In the end, they're replacing the mirror, changing cambelts, giving it a full service, MOTing it, touching up the scratches/chips, and selling it to me for a couple hundred quid less than their original asking price.

Even if it isn't the best price possible, I'm well happy with it. Pick it up next friday :)

Slightly chavtastic alloys eh?

Very nice Sean - looks clean too :) Much mileage?

Just don't bring it on the 20th :lol:

78k, which is a little higher than I hoped for, but still not really high mileage. It's had 1 lady owner (Car park and women= a few scratches ;) ) and has FSH so I'm not worried.

First thing to do to it is figure out how to connect a 6 cd changer to the existing head unit :p

That's not bad at all really - especially for a nearly 10 year old car! Should be good for 50mpg plus too :)

Your insurance premium is better looking :p Who are you with?

1400 is best so far..

Express Insurance the same as my bike. By the way it works out cheaper to go without insurance these days. ;)

:D yeah it sure does. I could buy another car with what insurance costs.
