    What's the issue, my 2 labs owned my car or cars a few times.... They were good drivers....

    Ah but you can trust labs though. I wouldn't trust a pitbull driving my car. First car it meets it would crash into them looking for a fight. :pac:

    More owners than years. IMO, there's a lemon issue that you can fix to sell after about a year, but not fix to own.

    Think we've reached the level where its believed that fluffy dice may influence insurance costs, rational humans becoming scarce

    Swinford and no tow bar. That's a mass car if ever I saw it, would be a safe bet.

    They're a great car. That 1.5 is excellent but I had it in a slightly smaller car and couldn't complain. One complaint is it's extremely plasticy inside.

    Is it the same turbo from a TDCI Mondeo, I think so...should be around 200-250 to get one.

    My own Alfa GT. After much thought I decided to sell it. Financially it seems like a waste having it just sitting there for a week or more. Hopefully it finds a good home.

    That's a bloody bargain for 1600, I hope you get an easy sell, no gobdaws looking for a best price.

    Lovely car but you'll do well to get a grand for it. I'd like to be wrong, but at the same time I wouldn't pay a grand for it. :o

    Focus saloon with 32k miles, short test til September but taxed all the way to March 2022, €650

    They're a hateful car IMO, but this looks tidy and could probably be decent transport for someone for the guts of a year for 500 quid

    Sent this onto someone and they are delighted to have bought this car. Immaculate condition it was.

    First thing I though myself, seen a few for sale recently around the 1000 mark. In the current market OP has it priced as it should be though.

    Hope someone could give an advise - looking at the adds, cars up to 3k and really not sure what to go for...need something to be used as for daily where I don't have to worry about parking dings scratched etc.... So far the cheapest with lowest millage would be Laguna, Mazda 6, Insignia ...Would Mazda 6, 2.2 diesel be a good choice or petrol versions would be better? Always loved Lexus IS from 2006 but hard to get something decent under 3 k.

    They're all pretty much awful choices engine wise.
