Wont be economical but a great car

Autotrader shows:

Urban mpg	20.5 mpg	CO[SUB]2[/SUB] rating (g/km)	230 g/km
Extra Urban mpg	38.7 mpg
Average mpg	29.1 mpg

I'd say that's perfectly believable. I used to get about 14 mpg, 29.8 mpg, and 22 mpg respectively from my 3.0 166.

Until you try and get any kind of speed out of it

So a car that goes, has an MOT is being sold as not fit for purpose as a motor vehicle.....just because the dealer want out of the responsibility if it stops at first point of use.... ....crazy

Indeed I really do hate that with a passion. If you can't support the car or customer with a standard 3 month warranty then you shouldn't be in the game. It's not hard to do a simple check of all basic items like Tyres, Exhaust, Brakes, suspension, drivetrain and then stick a new MOT on any car regardless of age or cost.

The car Beau bought sold for £3755 so not exactly your average Shed.

When I bought my 3200 I bought from a mate of a mate who is in the trade and I bought from him with no comeback simply because I was getting a great deal on it. That was my choice but there's no way I'd do that from a dealer I didn't know.
