sporty-shite Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Mother Sporty will not drive Father Sporty's Golf. However, Father Sporty is going in for a knee replacement next week, so Mother ideally needs to be able to drive. She wants a small car, and can only drive an auto. She would definitely have a Saxo, as Father had a manual briefly, and she liked it. Otherwise, she would need to sit in and have a go of whatever she was having. As ever, they've left this until the last minute, so I thought I'd ask on here. There's a decent looking Saxo Auto on Ebay, but it's in Newcastle. That's not the end of the world, but ideally we'd like something closer to us in Bolton. Double ideally would be someone willing to take on Father's Golf 1.8 CL Auto. Long test, P Reg, 5 door in Dragon Green. A couple of giffer scuffs, but nothing too major. Ideal budget £500 ish. Could stretch further if necessary, but ideally not. It's a long shot, but someone might have something.

vulgalour Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 This could do the trick.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-Reg-1-4-Renault-Clio-Automatic-in-Red-/161942847041?hash=item25b48bbe41:g:JewAAOSwaA5Wkovw Long MoT, low mileage, nice and cheap and a lot like a Saxo. It's in Preston too so it's not even that far away. Lacquer Peel 1
vulgalour Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I just noticed you might have to take your own wiper blades.
mouseflakes Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Rossendale? Looks very near to Bolton. £490. It's 3-door. Only 52k. Not sure what the 1.4 is like with an autobox (I thought the autos were normally 1.6s). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Saxo-1-4i-SX-Automatic-Red-1999-Petrol-Very-Low-Miles-Motd-BARGAIN-/141870311084

Bobthebeard Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Is a Saxo smaller than a Golf? If so can only be slightly.
Arthur Foxhake Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Is a Saxo smaller than a Golf? If so can only be slightly.Ha! SRSLY?
skattrd Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 No help from me, but for a small auto I'd be looking at Japanese stuff, they generally do those very well.
