You haven't got it cheap

No. Not cheap.

It is however a very nice low mileage example.

He originally had it priced at an optimistic £3895. This was later dropped to £3295 then £2895.

I'm happy enough with £2400.....or about 7% of the original list price. :y

Never. :y

I'd want at least £1000 for her and nobody would be willing to pay that. I don't need the money so I'll keep hold of her.

Well done M'lud for buying something cheap and practical, it is a well worn path that soon leads to other practical joys for the older gentleman like tortoise shell framed glasses, incontinence pants and a mobility scooter. ::) ::) ::) :P :P :P

I shall seek  the opinion of STMO regarding these 'later life' products. :)

His 1.4 litre Astra has similar performance to a mobility scooter. :)
