Are they? Surely the value is what they sell for, not what's on the sticker. :?

I think the first reg is now £55, so that would be £445 tax, which is correct for 226-255 g/km. :(

Go for it. I've just repaired my brothers old Fiesta that was also an 'uneconomic' repair. 3 hours and £117 in parts. Should have it sold on Saturday, to turn a tidy profit. :D

I guess that is a stupid offer but not in the direction I was thinking!!! :D Given how many you own Chas, if it were you making the offer I'd take it as genuine, surely you must have that much down the back of the sofa :lol: If he clears all of the loose change out of the ashtrays on his fleet, he ...

All the best and probably see you back here in the future :wink:
We're cutting down to two cars, so the Alp went in part-ex for a new runaround. I got a good deal on a Renault Wind (don't laugh), so that will be my commuter for the next few years.

Goodbye for now

It doesn't seem long since I bought the B3, but unfortunately it was part ex'd today. I did put it in the 'for sale' thread for about 12 hours, but as the dealer offered more than I advertised it for, I deleted the post pretty sharpish.

Not from me you won't. :lol:

Hopefully, the original owner is still looking in, every now and then. I must say that the car looks cracking - but wish you had posted a picture of the new mats as well. :wink:
