Exactly, and it was barely a grand more than the 3.0! Under £300 to be exact. Apologies, I couldn't be bothered to go through the five pages of posts of you not buying a car, to get the exact figure.

I totally agree with this. God almighty....... Lol, love you signature, how about letting others live there dream! Bizarre post considering you've only posted 94 posts! Stuart. Don't know yeh...your probably a decent fellow, but what was wrong with just telling us what you bought in the first place... that was my point, by making everyone start guessing dragged it on a tad. Enjoy your new motor. 95 posts now.. jonny Exactly......it's the dragging out, when everyone called that it was going to be a BMW........AGAIN.

28k on a 32 year old car??? How much is it?

YAWN!!

That looks like a Rover.....

Is it a BMZ?

Oh dear. Somebody needs to man up.

Why would you be less paranoid about having a newer, more expensive, Zed?

Exactly, anything in this price bracket is going to have had circa 15-20 years of mods and abuse..........and will be just waiting to rape your wallet. As the saying goes; Fast + cheap = unreliable Fast + reliable = not cheap Cheap + reliable = not fast If your downgrading for financial reasons, you should be getting a shed. It will be painful for a while but nearly ALL of the cars mentioned in this thread are potential money pits and look like chav chariots.

One reputation restored

What colour is it wrapped?

Ouch! No damage to the bonnet??

Peeps, I've been looking at a few cars in the circa +/- £10k area, for a weekend/summer toy etc. I've came across a car that is a perfect spec, age, mileage and condition but about £5k less than other cars. The advert states that the car was 'Stolen recovered'. My immediate thought was to walk away, but then i thought; why?? The owner said that the car was stolen in 2004. Insurance paid out and then the car was found. Apparently nothing was damaged eg it wasn't crashed or used in a ram raid etc. So, why would or does a Stolen Recovered car suffer the same stigma as a CAT C or D car? Would you rather have a car that might have been redlined by a scrote for a week or two than at CAT car that you KNOW has been bent round a tree?? If the car was stolen a few months ago and not covered any distance since I'd be concerned. But this was 9 years ago and the car has covered 50k since.......... For reference, the price is £9.5k and a very similar car is currently listed at £14.5k so it seems to be priced accordingly, I just feel like I'm missing something.......... Liam
