That's true, but I have always missed my old HGT and this seemed like a good little buy!
And as for lower tax, nothing I can afford comes into the £35 a year bracket, so that idea is out of the window.
However, I have been positively encouraged by what I have found on AutoTrader and eBay but fear I may have to return to the land of Mondeo.
Bottom line is that I need something cheap that if/when it goes wrong, is cheap to repair. Ford's tend to fit that bill. Shame really, because I've seen some really good examples of cars like Laguna's, Xantia's, Primera's & Volvo's, none of which are cheap to maintain
Hopefully have the cash in the bank by Wednesday so we will see how the land lies then. Need it sorted by the weekend!
