If im honest, i really hate these. They are ugly, really badly aged, low spec for the money new and sorry to say it but hardly have a reputation for reliability.
If you wanted a reliable car (and something with a bit more character), you should of bought 406 or 407. theres a reason cabbies use them!
Nah wasnt a dealer.
Low spec for the money? How much do you think they cost? Better specced, better engined and cheaper than a Mondeo lol.
As said, it's all down to personal preference really, its not a show car, and it doesnt try to be, but its soooo comfy and 'nice' to drive. Nicer than the Golf easily. Not as quick though obviously.
Brand new they were well over 20k wernt they? Admittidly, better than the equliviant mongdeo and probably better built but still a lot for the money!
Oh sorry I thought you meant now....luckily they've depreciated like hell! IMO £3000 for that kinda spec at that age is damn good value... Oh and yes, new the high spec diesels were about £25k lol

Keep an eye on the cambelt idles as they're made of shit plastic. The one on my bothers car seized and he only noticed when there was smoke coming out the bonnet when the cambelt was rubbing across it.
Oh dear, that doesnt sound good! Cambelt kit was changed last year though so should all be good for now I hope.
