Curiously enough, the guy changed his mind yet again and has decided to sell it on Autotrader.
Personally i was a bit miffed. I couldnt understand why people wouldnt want to sell me a car.
Anyway - 3rd option bought. Its a trade in from a dealer, Its been to the moon, its had a few scuffs - but it was honest and not pretending to be a high value car, meaning i wont mind as much when i break it. Which i expect i will, going by the general consensus on RS246.
Being transported up on a wagon for a full going over, a proper service, maybe timing belt and definitely paint (once its mechanically sound)
Its also in the best colour - Ninja Black
