Where abouts are you?

I happen to know that there's a nice black one for sale in Barnsley. 2004 37.5K £10449.

Used to be mine, so I know it's good:D

Good choice of motor imo.

The holy grail - quick and cheap to run. Had mine since new and spent £2k upgrading it last month. Will keep it a couple of years more (only 32k from new - all of which from me)

As far as the car is concerned, one of the best financial decisions ever made. It has not been the financial suicide you would expect from buying a new motor - only paid £14500 new back in July 2004 - this was a good price and cheaper than 6 month old models at the time. The car is still hoilding its value well considering the way they plumet.

Both your head and heart will agree on this one. :D:D:D

Couldn't agree more!! Done 52k since Oct 04 when I got it new. Revo'd at 5k and only a glow plug and turbo hose seal has failed in all that time. Dealer servicing is £120 or £180 (£220 with brake fluid change) depending on the mileage. Real world mpg = 46.7 on Tesco's finest derv, driven 160 miles a day - mostly on motorway. At 70mph I got 62mpg with Revo switched on. 45k miles on rear tyres, approx 22k miles on fronts. Still on original disks and pads although they are getting ready for new pads. I should really replace it to save killing its value with the high mileage I now do (800 a week) but to replace it with what ? There is nothing as good for such small running costs that puts such a grin on your face.
