pedro68 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 i have eventually bought a vitara although not the one i set out to buy,i had looked at an 02 plate in the morning but it was not the best , tyres were nearly done ,stank of dogs and there were general tatty bits here and there , guy wanted £2425 had a full years mot. the other was a petrol 2.0 ltr 04 , was much cleaner but was £3150 and was i my opinion not loved by previous owners . i eventually went to see a 1999 2.0 td 89 000 miles immaculate inside ,mot till feb but a little rust on the inside of the passanger sill at the back door,everything else was tidy so i went for it and got it for £2000, hope i did ok ,my fingers are crossed the sill is an easy fix,i have a mate who does cars so he is coming to check it out tonight .i dont know why but i just felt it was the better car than the others looks wise ,if i get 3 years out of it il be happy.Just hate that knot in my gut i get when buying used cars Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 We all feel the same mate, it's a lottery when buying a second hand motor, Hopefully it will give you a few more years of trouble free motoring, ATB Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
