But I'm being serious when I say you'd have to be insane to take it on, the timing chain rattles like a bastard on startup too  ;D

You'll never make a used car salesman with honesty like that. ;D

It's had its day. Only paid ten grand for it in 2018, before things went mad. It had 10,000 miles on it and was a bargain. But it's been abused, it was only used as a dog kennel after my wife had finished using it. I've had bricks and rubble in the back (probably still some under the back seats and in the spare wheel well).
I've scraped it numerous times and just gave up worrying about it. It's dead, deceased, no more  ;D

I won't drive the milk float and she won't drive the BMW (she feels it's too quick for a mere girlie)

Any dog-snotter, be it petrol or derv, I will drive. She spends hours doing her nails so she won't go anywhere near a car smelling of canine shit and piss. 8)

Based on that, it must be a dull low power electric (hopefully not the Dacia or Renault equivalent)  :-[

How very dare you. ;D

It is neither Froggie or Romanian. I think Dacia are made in Romania, or similar.

I actually like it.

Good colour, and in side profile has nice proportions.

Also, seems reasonably good value with the price of cars today. And being a derv 58,000 miles is sweet f*uck all. I imagine the diesel motor will still be running long after you own motor has stopped for good. >:D

Please don't. I'll feel really bad if you find an ancient merc that I could have bought instead.
