    New member to the family

    found this little beauty today on voc, had an 180 mile round trip down to farnborough to collect it, it had 6 months mot left but had done 0 miles since the mot, it has been stood doing nothing. got there without seeing photos but for £200 it was worth it, arrived to find an 850 t5 estate in very good condition apart from one key scratch, no rust whatsoever and nice plastics, it also had full black leather interior, and you may think the car has high mileage well it only has 90000 on the clock. On the drive home the car drove perfectly and has no faults whatsoever, i was gonna turn it around to make a few quid but offered it to my brother so he bought it. another bargain find lol
