Signum V6.

Shocking depreciation means the ideal beater for the cost conscious who still want a bit of interest in their car (well, at least from the engine).

Mark is a pretty straight guy - and I know where he lives! about three doors down from me. Seems like an average mileage and a sensible enough price if it's clean I reckon you could probably knock them down another 200 quid though .

Colin, offer him 5500 and that you can't afford any more or something show him the cash and wait - they'll bite .

You need the other 200 quid to go and buy a new tracksuit, some nice white socks to tuck the trousers in to and some lovely signet rings with the names of all your 19 illegitemate children on.

That makes absolutely no sense Colin, the better car is 1/3 of the price I think you're a total mental case buying an Audi over a scoob, seriously if it was a WRX then I'd be worried but it's just a regular motor doesn't have the 18 foot picnic table spoiler or the huge airscoop or a rediculous exhaust (yes, I know I have one ).
