The Car Perry's Sold Us
Hi Just after a bit of advice. Basically me and my hubby bought an '06 reg' car from Perrys in August of last year - it had tinted windows applied, which we thought was a bonus as we were going to get this done on the car we intended to buy anyway. Then, the police pulled us over in December and the front windows were only…

Skoda Octavia TDi.
My quest to find a tidy TDi estate car for around £2.5K has been rumbling along. I've given up on Mk3 Golfs because they're too rare.
