Seems a little strange to buy a diesel to only average 7k miles a year.

The thing is it only had 37,000 on it in Feb when he passed away, so I have already hammered some miles on it since then.

i bought 2 in 2 days, swmbo wasnt a fan of hers but she desperately needed a car after the HG went on her 306, then i found mine the next day in excellent condition at an excellent price, so i bought it

12 months later the HG went in swmbos! she was glad to see the back of it

mine tho, has wanted for nothing at all, apart from a wiper blade! i'll have to upload a pic at some point, i've added a couple of little extras to it to make it mine, but not OTT :y
