fortune82 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I bought the 2.0 litre model on a 55 plate with 25000 miles on it last November for 4K. 30-35MPG, quiet on the road and reasonably good off road and reliability is perfect so far. Bit choppy and bouncy over rough roads but you cant have everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lee Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Mrs Lee has a 54 plate V6 tara. Have to say so far it has been spot on and i've off roaded it. Only problem has been a broken rear door handle. Replaced under warranty so a bigger bonus. Drives well on and off road. Fair on fuel but really comfy having the full leather interior.

robmiller Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Pretty happy to go for it. Cant get much for less than 2k. Plus road tax stays down with it being pre 2001. Even if it only lasts a couple of years. Some new seat covers and will be ok. Any ideas to fix a la$p on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiithy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 It looks like your patience paid dividends and you’ve found a nice example for a good price Since you don’t have much bartering room might as well try and blag a tank of fuel and some rubber mats :unsure: Good luck with the purchase mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmiller Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 He'l tell me to swivel. Blaged half a tank of fuel a service and mot. and got for 1900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiithy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Can't complain at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minghis Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Looks good. I had one of these a few years ago. Good to drive and very practical. Watch out for the fuel consumption though - mine only did about 20mpg running around locally. Other than that, ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmiller Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Should be mostly be one or two trips to the shops and the gym. Mostly out and about so this should be ok. Pleased with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
