Picked it up yesterday from Wednesbury, 400 mile round trip! Was worth it as its one of the only ones ive seen that hasnt been messed about with, 69k, full service history, immaculate inside and out, well chuffed :D

    Looks tidy, good buy.
    If it's your first car, I imagine it's going to be pretty expensive to insure though?

    Splendid first (or 2nd or 3rd) car - great handling and nicely nippy.

    Yeah it is very tidy, the lad i bought it off was a real ford enthusiast and the owner before him a bloke in his 40's so i dont think its been raced about the streets of birmingham too much..
    Insurance i got quoted £1066 for as a named driver but when i rang up today to get it sorted its gone up to £1630 with co-op. Ive been ringing about all day and best after that is £2000, got quoted £3500 at one point!! :lol:
    Looks like im going to have to pay the £1630 :roll: I start work in june after college so im going to be very very skint till then.. :lol:

    Well Wednesbury isnt anywhere near Birmingham so I don't expect it will have been either :wink:
