Title: Thinking about getting this
Post by: EMD on 13 November 2015, 16:25:17
  Suzuki (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-WAGON-R-1-3-GL-12MTH-MOT-READY-TO-DRIVE-AWAY-GREAT-VALUE-/121811775019?hash=item1c5c8c2e2b:g:DH0AAOSwo0JWQgmX)   :-\

 Whats not to like  :-\
Good on fuel , cheap insurance and parts and a doddle to maintain . Even the hamster was impressed when he took one for a test drive .

Oh God NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

SWMBO fell for one of those things and I regretted ever agreeing to it. Horrible little $h1t box on wheels, metal thinner than tin foil, hence loads of tin-worm underneath. Brakes were less than useless, if you went on the motorway we'd be lucky if we got 60mph out of it!!! And it was a right barsteward to get through the MOT and cost a little sum to get through such  >:( >:( >:(

 I cannot think of one good thing to say about the one we had other than 'goodbye' when we sold it to an unsuspecting punter.

Sorry EMD as you can probably tell we had a bad experience with one  ::) ::) ::) just my humble opinion.

Step away from eBay, step away. Step away now.

Go and sit on the naughty step and think what you have suggested!

Think the best thing for all concerned, is for Jason to pop round to your place,stick a pair of nice shiny bracelets on your wrists and take you down to police station and keep you in protective custody for your own safety :) and if you remember the film Cool Hand Luke ''you've got to get your head right'' before they let you out has got to apply here :y
