Lexx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Since some of you have asked in the insurance thread what I have bought, here we are. As Martin will testify, I have had it to the back teeth with that fecking Puegeot 406 coupe oil burner. Started of ok, but then I discovered that it cripples my back on long journeys. Add to that Puegeots over complicated FAP system that causes the Turbo to throw a spaz every now and again, and it just becomes a bastard to drive and no fun. And.....me and Helen have decided to buy a house and do the whole kids, marriage type thing. The house we are putting an offer in on is in need of full renovation (there is literally nothing in it - no kitchen, bathroom, boiler, nothing). As such, I figured it was time for a B&Q and Ikea friendly car. As well as good for driving too and from Tilbury. So yesterday I reached a deal on this car and picked it up this morning. 90,000 miles FSH and history of MOT's 2.0l Petrol £2800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's base SE spec, so no cruise or sat nav or multi CD. But it has an auto opening boot! But its a bloody steal at this price, and they took the Pug off my hands that Id never be able to shift. Gonna fit a Xcarlink for ipod, and then the boot lifters are goosed and need replacing, but thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantone Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's base SE spec, so no cruise or sat nav or multi CD. But it has an auto opening boot! A work colleague has one of these and it seems to behave itself. More impressive to me than the auto opening boot is the auto closing boot, it's weird to watch!

Lexx Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Investigated the boot issue today, and it turns out that all that had happened was that a lifter had popped off. Clicked back in place, and all now working Free fix for something that I got £150 knocked off the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrzed Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I got a 2006 i-vtec type S ..... and .... she has been glorious, in 40000 miles I haven't even changed a tyre, rear and front brake pads swapped at about 40000, a thing to watch as they wear prematurely. Regularily get around the 40's to the gallon I shall be sad to se her go. The wagon is a real novelty you don't see many of em about, looks very nice.
