I got made redundant on Wednesday and had a crappy escort van which had to go back, so I go out and buy a new car as the new job I start on Tuesday doesnt come with a company car until 6 months into the job.

So I bought one of these

sorry they are crappy photos.

69000 miles
fsh
years mot
no tax but thats no biggy.
Totally standard and a very tidy example excepy a couple of little scuffs on the front and back bumper.
Just need to give it a ******* good clean.

Its just so nice driving a comfy, lazy powered, quite car with loads of toys; rather than a ****ty go slow escort van or a noisy, bumpy rev happy corsa.

You do get alot of metal, toys, power for not a lot of money with these. And the phase 2's dont look to dated either.

Gave it a really good clean over the last 2 days which it needed.
Clayed, srp and wax. It came up fantastic.
Only a couple of marks, a big scuff on back bumper which can be painted really easy and a scuff on front bumper. Both I knew about when buying it. Other than that, a few stone chips and a couple of scratches there are no car park dents or any other mark.

Tbh I think I got a bit of a bargain.:d

I just cant wait until saturday when I drive down to the French Alps in it, should be a really nice drive.
