Marv Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hope your good lady is ok? Plenty of cars available out there but if you're anything like us they always seems to come up when you don't need one and when you do there's nothing going! Diesel cars will invariably give you back much better mpg but diesel itself is more expensive to buy and generally diesel cars cost more to buy so it's a balancing act - good luck with the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRuss Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sorry to here about the mrs hope she's ok, Takes a couple of days for the shock to hit you, similar thing happened to me a few years ago, thought I was fine but ended up in hospital couple days later with a broken vertibre in my back, As for car got a mate who's selling his mrs fiesta same as your mrs but on a 54 plate around that sort of money, but like Marv says plenty out there just a matter of checking them out.

hendo Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 It was a 1.6 petrol bud. Nippy enough, nice interior with all the gadgets, ave about 42mpg. They do a 1.4 and 2.0 models also Diesel engine ones. Can't fault it tbh. Only got rid as we needed a bigger car, missus was gutted to see it go.
