DoctorRetro Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 If there is a figure we can work out MOT'd and delivered (even a bit/lot closer), I guess I'd be interested. The only things against it are - lack of rear doors. - distance (and more the time than the cost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 205 auto will go out of your budget. They were £600 cars a couple of years ago, and all the ones I find now are around £1k BIN. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 £350 for the little puglet diesel seems a bargain to me. Seems it's done a few of its custodians a good turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I'd buy a 205 D from loserein but I'd need to dispose of a 205 CJ I have already bought from loserein. It definitely has a Bosch pump if that helps swing things. I miss it already. Better mental health and/or a driveway and it'd still be here.

DoctorRetro Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 I think I've found something. Or in actual fact, my girlfriend has.* Keeping my mouth shut until I hear back from the seller. A little excited as it's something I really wanted. Currently have everything crossed.... *I was sitting watching the TV and she was browsing for cars for me, she's definitely a keeper. gadgetgricey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 In a dramatic turn of events last night, I have now agreed to buy a car. All will be revealed later. After my girlfriend found the car I messaged the seller, but didn't hear back until after 10pm. As the car is more than you can withdraw from a cashpoint in one day, I got out of bed and walked to the nearest ATM after our discussion. Apparently the car belongs to his 93 year old father who is quite attached to it, so I guess I'll have to convince him it is going to a good home. I'm travelling from work later several hours to somewhere in Sussex called Haywards Heath. Clues? - I've owned one before. - It is old. - I don't like the wheel trims.
