Terrified of buying new car

Yep, that's Stitch as we used to call it, can confirm it hasn't been clocked

Just to clarify, it was traded into a Northern Ireland Ford Dealer for £2000 so it's probably not fair to say he paid £2000 for it and selling at £4000, but since the GAP value was £2400 and Ford would have just traded it out quickly it probably wasn't far off.

Bit baffled how it ended up in Kent from Northern Ireland, hell of a distance.

Have a look at the photos of the back seats. You'll see some stains on the passenger side that they couldn't quite get out. Well my daughter sat on that side and my son on the drivers side and she was always a messy eater

Also it's advertised coming with a personal plate, that's actually a standard Northern Ireland plate, nothing special about it. Dealer maybe didn't know that.

Unless a girl called Penny buys it

Ah well, at least that confirms you're definitely not our M3-loving friend, in spite of some earlier suspicions from me and others.

I apologise for thinking so badly of you as to suspect you.

Of course they are. You'll find them with the honest MPs :drool:

They're just up the road from the estate agents and almost next door to the bankers.

Is your camper petrol or diesel. If its petrol how about lpg? You can even cook off the autogas. By the time you tax insure maintain and mot a second car you are eating in to any saving it might be best just to keep the money towards running the camper or modifying it for oower running costs.
