What are they like to live with? Does anybody know? I was looking at one yesterday, that i think i am going to purchase either next week or the week after. Its a X reg, 1.9 turbo diesel. 105 bhp (standard) it has electric windows, mirrors, sunroof and a bonus... electric heated seats

Basically, the car isnt anything special, its cheap and will do me for what i need it for. It has 12 months mot and 6 months tax. Hes after £500 for it. Good or bad?

Cheers

What he said. They've got some quirky little styling touches to them too imo!

Why so cheap would be my question. The 6 months tax is worth over 10% of that, doesn't say much for the rest of the car

Yeah, im not after anything special, just something cheap n cheerful for the moment till i can afford something better. I have been to look at it and theres nothing wrong with it really. Has 120,000 miles which is the only downfall, but then again it is a strong engine, and has just been mot'd with no advisories.

well that one hadn't been looked after at all, but still did me for 17,000 miles in a year, and i gave it death

eventually the exhaust fell over and the clutch went.

interior was horrible and things fell off all the time

drove about as well as a standard corsa B imo

Done the job then eh! Thats all i need it for really, get the 12 months mot out of it hopefully then move onto something else. How big are the boots? i couldnt really tell when i looked because there was a load of his stuff in the boot

they are cheap cars to buy now, and also the parts are dirt cheap and loads of spares for them on ebay.

Always loved that shape Bravo for some reason.

The new shapes are lovely.

Be alright for £500 - can't see it being horrendous, no worse than any other car for £500
