    Seems cheap coming from a stealer?
    Anybody any experience of them?
    Mixed reviews online but just the usual stuff you’d expect from people buying 10+ year old cars without checking them out.

    I changed my mind about a purchase with them upon reading the reviews....

    I’d definitely have my eyes wide open if I was looking at his stock but same goes for any small time dealer I suppose.

    With the mileage on it, it's rather pricey.

    Do you think so?
    I wouldn’t consider over 300k km on a Mazda to be off putting.
    I’m not in the market but a cheapish wagon for somebody, no?

    332k would be very high. Mazda engines aren't known for longevity.

    300,000km on a car, not just the engine.
    Its worth €500, tops.

    It’s survived this long but be aware of head gasket issues on the K Series.

    How much will my ford fiesta cost if I sell it, 2008 250k km mileage 1.2 petrol.

    I've just found out that I am going to be a father and I am thinking if I should change my fiesta for a bigger car.

    Get an estate, much easier dealing with buggy and other bits.

    I'd be looking at likes of Octavia, focus or Mondeo, megane or if budget allowed likes of crossover like kadjar etc....

    Obviously there are many crossovers so worth a look too.

    It’s only a baby. As long as you’re sensible in your choice of buggy you don’t actually need a new car.

    Congratulations too.

    I don’t think an MR2 has the fixing points for a roof rack

    Some technical reason.

    That looks lovely. But.....

    I posted it here last year when it was equally lovely, but overpriced at €950 its since changed hands on 10th December and is back on the market again much cheaper. So alarm bell is ringing, check the story out.

    The 1.4's werent quite as prone to HG failure as the 1.8's, but it's the first thing you need to look at.

    At that money it would make a great semi-classic, but as a day to day car for hacking around I'm not sure!

    I wouldn't be running out changing cars just yet. See how you get on with the Fiesta first.

    My sister has a new born and drives a Fiesta the same as yours. She cannot afford to change cars at the moment as she is building a house so she has to made do with the Fiesta for the time being. Your car doesn't have isofix fittings for a baby seat so your choice of baby seat will be limited to one that is compatible with non isofix rear seats. You will need to chose wisely with the buggy too but she got one that fits in the boot and only requires one of the wheels to be detached when put in the boot.

    I bought my bangernomics Ford C-Max from him. Seems to find nice cheap cars.
