Changing car.

Plugguy

Hi! I am looking to change my car and I am looking at this

I know very little about cars and I am wondering would this be ok for tipping around. I drive 8,000 miles per year.

Maybe it's the particular colour and photos but that car looks to have multiple shades of pain on the body work which may indicate a poorly repaired crash repair. The bonnet definitely looks a different shade to the other panels to me.

the bonnet does look a different shade buy might just be the photos it's an odd colour, but definitely be worth a closer look and investigation in person.

It has a lot of miles for a 1.4 Petrol. Check for a good service history. I believe these have timing chains not belts so that a good thing.

To be fair it's just hitting 11 years old now so the mileage would be average enough for the age. Not sure if it's worth buying a car in that price range from a dealer as you don't know what sort of warranty or after sales they will offer. Usually in that price range warranty won't be worth much as it eat's into the dealer's profit.
