My dad's been offered one, 52 reg with 400 miles for 20,000 as a deal with my mums new Honda Jazz. So before i tell him to buy it or not would be grateful for a bit of info on it.
Cheers

Nice cars, theres a new model just about to be released so hold back cos prices will drop on the old one.
Can pick early ones up for £10k now
Look nice in black, red leather and big chrome rim's

He's looking at sky blue with blue leather and 17"s. I love the interior, everything is hidden behind chrome which slides out the way when you touch it.

Do u reckon it would be faster or slower than a Saab 9.3 convertible????
(Dont know whether the convertible makes a difference)

What else can you get for £20k, thats the question. Probably something better. Not that S2000's arent good or anything, i like em.

I did think that Nath. £20,000 is a lot of money and you can get something which imo is nicer. But he prefers to buy brand new, any other suggestions. Something for £20,000 which is fast, convertible. And would suit a balding middle aged man going through a mid-life crisis?

oh, and at least a 4 seater.
(with the exception of this Honda because he believes it to be a bargain)

I just realised. Colin, looked all through the brochure and realised not anywhere does it meantion 4 seats. Which is one thing he needs.
Apparantly there's an exception when he believes there needs to be. There's 5 people in my family, i reckon he should keep the saab and buy me the honda.

He wont get it, he decides on a car he fancies each week, i find out a bit about it and he decides he will keep looking. So far he's been interested in a TT, SLK and a Subaru for sale down the road.
