I'd've cried
« on: 05 November 2014, 20:26:13 »
A customer turned up at local Citroen dealership to trade in his "old"car for his brand new Citroen Berlingo Multispace today.It was one of those awful automatic ones where the car slows down between up changes.Anyway apart from his new car he got a fair-but not huge-wedge of money for his old car.What did he trade in?A 14 plate Jaguar XF Sportbrake!!! I'd've cried!

Saw an XFR Sportbreak a few weeks back.  Having had an XF saloon I wasn't sure about the estate version but when I saw it ...  :-* :-*

Yes I realise we can all suffer a change in circumstances/needs,but surely there's got to be a better alternative than a Berlingo,especially with that awful auto box on it!

My chevrolet daewoo zafira in disguise has been bloody great with moving house. You'd be amazed what you can get in with all the seats down. Needs a good clean though  :-[

Rent a transit for a day, or a 7.5tonner.  More comfortable, more practical, better street cred with the ladies, etc etc
