Nice that, but wouldnt you rather get a newer shape GS300 for that dough though? Didnt know you still had the GS300, I'm thinkin of choppin mine in for a V5 Bora.

Just looked at the link, £2k didnt realise these where that cheap... big engines arent half droppin in price, I wouldnt go back to a small engine now, reap the benefits on buying the car!

You've never been inside one then. The interior is decent, comfy heated seats and non of the interior is shoddy plastic. Looks it in the above pics though.
Drive one all the time, drinks petrol like mad, not quick for the engine but a nice car to do long journeys in.

Is a lot of car for the money but 130k on a petrol engine, guess the full service history helps.
about 25mpg, £260 tax a year and group 33 insurance but seems good for you if your not doing many miles like said

Did think about one of these once. It wasn`t as cheap and did not have the miles this has. Still if it fits, go for it. Insurance costs?
