On another thread i said an old friend, (actually 88 years young) had his rover 25 1.4 give up last week.
Friday we went to a local dealer with a fair reputaion, Old Bill, his son and myself.
We didn't say we were going....
Got there... Interested in Kia... ok, keys here.. trade plates, off you go.. All three of us drove it, felt ok, still plenty of umphh.. clutch fine, brakes fine handled well, no advisories on Mot's, Full service history... tyre tread depths acceptable... one paint patch on bumper repair, but barely visible. interior unmarked.. 53000 miles...price ok, £2695 1 owner... but took £150 less for cash then and there. taxed it etc and drove away with a new MOT..
One happy pensioner...
