In order to know whether or not it is a good idea to purchase it I am estimating the running costs and then deciding whether or not I want to pay that for a more fun daily or spend it on the 306 or elsewhere.
Your fuel cost has been about 670 pounds if fuel is 1.11 a litre for those 3200 miles, whereas my current daily costs approximately 260 pounds for this distance if diesel is also 1.11 a litre.
Thank you for the very kind offer, I've found one I really like very close to work at a dealership so I would probably have the option of test driving that if I wanted to. I think if I went for the test drive I'd probably end up just buying it though!
What is your plan at MOT time? Refit cats? How many can you remove without failing emissions? Or does it need all of them?
Think it's actually £720 as it's about £1.20 for V-Power, they love V-Power
They are every bit as good as everyone says they are and they are genuinely comfortable, quiet and practical.
As for the MOT the cats were scrap. It'll be going to a Subaru specialist for the MOT hoping they have a spare system they can fit just for the MOT and remove again afterwards.
