Would you buy it?

[Pondy]

OK so with used car prices going through the roof across the board, would you buy this?
No checking prices online as that would be cheating.
I may have the opportunity to buy a Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6 petrol estate (from Top Gear fame, albeit the saloon/hatch), 2007, one owner, 38k miles, full dealer history, 4 new tyres, 9 months MOT for.............£250

 

[bigwinn]

in a heartbeat

yes

 

[enuff_zed]

Nope!
Not now I know you're getting one.

 

[Scubaregs]

If the four new tyres are worth £249, might be worth a punt.

That made me laugh.

Phew! got away with it.

With a tank of petrol?

With a tank of petrol?

Good point. I think it may have. The owner sadly passed away today but was advised to queue for fuel when the 'panic' hit a few weeks ago. Don't think it's been driven since.

I'd be all over that!

I need a cheaper daily than a 330i now I hardly go anywhere.

My designer of choice is George. Occasionally Tu, depending on their season's offerings. :lol:

Please accept my sincere apologies

This is shaping up to be an epic thread.

Do we have a place to store forum gold?

 

[MKZ4000]

Why not as long as it gets used and insurance /tax isn’t a killer.

If you get 9 months out of it and it fails it’s mot you’ll get your money back in scrap.

Don’t let it go that way though, save it
