Well...sadly, with my life the way it is right now I have to let my lovely C70 go :(
R plate C70 T5 GT
144K on the clock
Good bits:
Just passed M.O.T
6 moths TAX just put on it
Runs beautifully
RICA 310
Strut Brace
18" Nebs
Set of 5 Anthracite Titans can go with her
Full Dobly Set Up
Set of HIDS can go with her too :)
Bad Bits:
There is a leak from the Power Steering rack (not failed just a small leak from somewhere)
2 small dents ... 1 on drivers door, 1 on rear nearside wing (barely noticeable)
Front passenger seat needs the "fix" doing to it to make it move without sticking your hand under the seat (I'll sort this tomorrow hopefully)
Drivers side seat does not break (back doesn't move)
Small rust spot on drivers side rear wing
Drivers side door switch only operates drivers side window (have spare single switch pack which needs fitting)
Other than that she ruins very well and is very quick :)
Looking for £1100 ono

Aw crap mate, sorry to hear that, I doubt you'll have any difficulty selling it at that price.

Oh god noooooo.......I don't care how little money you've got, don't get a bloody Yaris!, I'd sooner go and spend the same amount on something older.

IF I bought a Saxo it would be to ram raid a Halfords or rob a bank lol other than that I can think of absolutely no reason to put myself through that trauma lol
Then again....I can't actually fit in a Saxo anyway :(

lol I thought you were saying the bus was silly cheap!! Was going to ask when the last time you got it was :P
I actually find running the T5 cheaper than getting the train/bus combo :)
Thanks for the well wishes though...hoping somoene will give her a good home :)

I meant getting the bus would be better than buying a Yaris.
Things at explaining good I am not :uglyhamme

Lol nah I just read it wrong lol
From experience, what is the best small car available for a reasonable budget?
I would repair my 306 if I thought it was worth it, I quite liked that car :)
Post 272879 by C70 GTT5 on 2009-12-05 14:29:31
Hello, have you seen my thread with the 306 i would happily swap, its mint an will soon have 12months m.o.t an its group 6 insurence, i love the c70's would even give you £100 on top :)
Post 272884 by cherry1809 on 2009-12-05 15:02:32
Most of the small French stuff is cheap to run/Insure... Just a shame they're french. LOL.
I've had 2 ZX Volcanes, Excellent cars. Sporty (ish) and nippy.
Cheaper to buy than a 306 but harder to find in good nick.
If you want super fuel economy, Go for a 1360 Citroen AX, Pretty sure they manage about 100mpg on a run... If you don't mind the thought of the car folding up like tin foil if you get in a smash.

I've driven an AX, learnt to drive in one, it was..."different" lol
Strange that I can fit in one of those and not a Saxo though :(

DO NOT,I REPEAT DO NOT go anywhere near an AX.My missus left the handbrake off on her AX in my drive, and it gently rolled down a small bank[approx 10ft].It ended up on its roof and the roof was touching the window rubbers with all the windows and screens smashed.It looked like a cartoon car that had been squashed with a big joke anvil,however,if somebody had been inside it would have been far from funny.Sorry to hijack the thread but just thought you ought to know!!!!
