drive in, be weighed, empty load, reweighed, cash in hand... €50 for a car 5 sized, more hassle than its worth

yep sadly had to go misses is doing her nut at all the cars around, after having it up for sale for 6 months at as low as €50 still no calls so i had to bite the bullet and let it go

[Mr Lobster]

I can understand that, still a shame though

i agree, total waste, if it was three doors could of sold it ten times over... why are 5dr's just so unloved

How come the Xant has UK platez?Darn, I'd have given hime €50 for it, it's a 1.9D = much economy

[Milford Cubicle]

Surely much slowness and poor fuel economy because you have to thrash the thing to keep up with traffic?That's my opinion of them anyway.I was quite tempted by your old 1.9D automatic Xantia though, purely for shite value.

maybe true. I did find that around town it was very good on fuel though but on the motorway it was like driving a 747 with the power of a bicycle! It wasn't really bad but true: the revs did get high to actually get it moving on the M-way.
