Hi everyone

I got the same deal about 6 months ago. It was advertised in the newspaper and another ford dealer matched the deal. Fantastic little car especially for the price

I disagree strongly with this post. Depreciation or not, i'd NEVER buy (or even be given for free) a Citroen or a renault, they are a complete waste of time. completely unreliable, rust buckets. Unless you can afford the likes of a Honda, or maybe Toyota you'd be much better off with a ford.....

Currently driving a Citroen ZX, '93 vintage, and the only rust so far is a small spot at the base of the driver's door.
And it's failed to start once in the 9 years I've owned it, though it rattles a bit nowadays. But then, so do I.

So if someone offered you a brand new Renault or Citroen you would turn it down. I think not.

I've had almost every make of car and the only one I wouldn't have again is a Rover, unless it was free!!

My favourite was my Vauxhall Chevette. Well I was 18 and it was lemon and gorgeous!!!

I quite fancied a Ka a few months ago as I think from outside they look lie a pear shaped women with the flared bits being the hips, but after test driving it I found it too cramped, basic and horrid (you know like girls do they either love or hate a car for no reason;) ). I still think though for under £5k they are a good first car.

Renault I would agree do have lots of reliability issues with their cars, just have a look at the Parkers forums for proof !

Citroens are great cars and do not rust as many of the panels are made of plastic or aluminium, such as the ZX. I have had two ZX's in the past and one was a company car. Am getting rid of my Audi A4 this year to buy a Citroen C4 which has so far proved to be a very reliable car, and has won many awards including Top Gear car of the year.

I would say that a lot of girls where I work have a Ford KA, so the word must get around that they are good little cars. The girls are not bad looking either

In the press yesterday my local Ford dealers were advertising the same deal on KA's £4995 for basic model and £5695 for one with power steering.

Poppy,

the one I bought was 4996 with power steering - it was the basic model.

My previous car was a renault laguna, had it for 9 years, never failed to start, totally reliable and only one teeny tiny rust spot on it when I sold it for £500.

No mention of it on first link.

Autobytel are importers, so is not the same deal.
