Is this a good deal for a car?

Don't really know any other sporty models. Only mini cooper s which I don't really like.

Guess I have to forget about the zetec s then. That's another car crossed off my list!

Not sure why you're so down on that Seat Ibiza I showed you earlier. Would be perfect! Maybe you just had bad luck with yours. I know three people in early to mid 20s that drive them, great little cars!

And buying a car with 100k on the clock is nothing these days if it's got FSH etc. I think maybe you're a little inexperienced when it comes to buying used cars.

I replied earlier mentioning I have already owned a Seat Ibiza and HATED it. I need something nippy, I can't stand slow cars. And of course I don't know much about buying cars. I just expect them to work and not have any hidden problems, but it appears that they are so many scumbags out there.

for your requirements I'd go for an Astra SportCoupe such as this one. Good looking cars in my opinion, and this one should be quick.

The odds are that he doesn't live anywhere near Redruth, though.

Although the one I linked was in Manchester and an example. I imagine there are hundreds of such a car around the country for sale so being near me is irrelevant.

I've found that cars that are in odd places are always going to be better priced.:rotfl:

I live in the Essex area so would only consider options from there..:cool2:

I do appreciate people taking time to reply to my annoying threads.

This is a 2002 Subaru Outback AWD 2.5 engine with 57,000 miles on the clock. Tax is £290.00 a year. I love driving it. I regularly get asked if I'd like to sell it; and been offered over £3500.00 without the number plate for the car. Number plate worth a good bit more. As I said it's all relative to what you wan't and what your prepared to spend on it.

Sorry, seems I'm not allowed to post photos or links..

But does it impress the ladies?

I mean, while everyone I knew was buzzing around in crappy BL stuff, I had a Cortina estate. It was a great car, 6p a mile on 4* but wasn't exactly a puller...

But when you did pull there was all that room in the back:j
