Cars on a Tight Budget

[Hawkeye1250FA]

I hear Junction 17 cars in Peterborough have some good deals.





Subnote: The above is a joke. Dont go to them.

Well, I took all of your advice... discarded most of it and ended up buying an 05 C-Max LX 1.6TDCi.
It's done 107K, has had maintenance work done (with receipts) and is in generally sound condition.
I got it for £750, so time will tell if it was a good deal or not. MOT is due in March, but that leaves money in the kitty for repairs if necessary.

Despite being the 109(I think) BHP model, it's as slow as shit, so the daily crawler lane drag races will still end in tears more often than not. But the space in it is cavernous. And it drives very well.

What a pointless thread in that case.

Basically "I've made this decision, please gratify me by praising my excel worksheet, if you critique, I'll just do it anyway and I'm not actually looking for advice."

Most threads are Jon.
People ask for others for their knowledge and then they totally ignore all the advice

On the contrary. I asked for defects in the models which I had already picked. Then it snowballed in to a diesel vs petrol opinion poll, which is when I chose to ignore most of it. I had already decided on a diesel before I read this thread.
