Been driving this quite a bit lately. I thought I'd hate it but it's actually quite good. Decent visibility, piss easy to park, very refined, quite a few toys. It's petrol too. She paid £10k for it about 8 months ago with 22k miles on. Now on 29k. The only downside is the piss poor sized petrol tan...

I suspect £3750 might buy this in a couple of week's time: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186305266377?itmmeta=01HRCH87SKEVPSWYZ57VZKSGZT&hash=item2b60a8c2c9:g:0OAAAOSwQY5l0iAa&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwNPqgpAgZuUFrrd%2BCpruQoaVMnaeGst%2Fk%2FyB319SciJY0pOUMWBSMl9NaWKkxyWr0XCbVG6DXEDSd%2FYlFQFBaDwFa8...

I ran one of these 3-4 years ago. Most of these were rubbish even then. That one was at the crossroads where it could be saved or turn to shit. They are quite well put together with cheap poor quality parts with no regard for longevity or ease of maintenance. All Mark 5 sills rot out due to the desi...

You’ve been bummed. The car is lost , unless you can pay some pikeys with a hiab to retrieve it.
