I want local mate not up north

 

up north? he lives near Worthing.

 

it is evil, but cheap

 

Exactly.

You wanted cheap Jamie and that festa is over priced by a fair chunk.

 

ok find me one thats cheaper then? all ghias in that year are more expensive as far as I can see?

 

still waiting

take a look at auto trader that's a good price IMO, plus I will knock him down

 

yes up North, anything is up north to me as I am as far south as you can get

 

Have you got any decent size car dealers by you? Ask whether you can have a look at their trade-ins, most dealers auction off any car older than 5-6 years unless it is something very special / desirable. I have picked up a few that way, they seem very happy to get shut of them cash rather than the hassle of auctions / traders (traders always want to pay very low prices).

 

most also have a selection of tame small dealers who will take anything that can't be put on the forecourt - they get the cars at trade price plus a 'drink' for the dealer

the way this usually works is they get a guarantee of a certain number of cars

but they have to take some crap amongst the decent stuff

all this can make it a bit of a closed shop to the private punter

ps that Fiesta looks like a good example of the above

 

What's the car for Jamie?

This is your 2nd car, with your 1st being the Porsche?

Don't you need something bigger than a Fester (to stick washing machines/telly's in etc)?
