Oh Dear
You'll end up going the same way I did when I bought the hilux....
The dirt cheap knock about run around - ends up being the most reliable and enjoyable (for its practically and reliability) car you have owned

I bloody hope so. Got to be more reliable than the train anyway lol.
Try again tomorrow.
Did you not even make it to the car ?
No mate. Got holed up just off LPS platformOriginally Posted by Jonny Wilkinson
Doh !
So, is this Vulva lush ?
It's - err - 140bhp of pure auto boxed lust.
Is it at least Right Wheel Drive ? ...and less than a grand
No, it's a scrabbler. But it is sub a grand. Leather, well specified, practical AF
And the comfiest seats ever to be fitted in a vehicle

Hope so, cos I is
if its heated leather - they are the best seats I have ever been in for a long drive, that include Bentley Continentals and range rovers .... the seats are just right, suppose that's why all the *70 & *90 series have had the same ones since the mid 90's until very recently they are excellent.
On way to go see it now so shall report back with success / failure (delete as appropriate)
Lol, bought it - it's a barge.
Slow as hell but kicks down and drives alright. Few bits need attention, it's got a cracked rear light cluster but they're only a score on eBay, there's some dings to rear bumper but hardly anything horrendous and that was the whole point, to have something I didn't care about getting bashed around a bit.
Interior is epic and all working, including heated seats.
Mechanically it's not perfect but for the money it's got a long ticket and it was very cheap. I reckon it needs new discs before next ticket but they're cheap enough. The worst of it is a slight weep of PAS fluid out of the pump end clamp which is dripping down onto alternator. Seems to be a common problem and not one that folk get worked up about, but I'd like to sort it if it's cheap enough to do so. It's looking OK at the rack end which is the important bit.
Might need a new screen at some point as there's a scratch in driver eyeline - not sure whether it would be possible to polish out?
Bit of TLC and it'll be reet.
So a V70 Auto Estate. A diseasal ? What year and colour ?
Does it have a towbar fitted ?
Good choice. My partner in (car) crime bought a V70 D5 for his missus with more hits than the Beatles a couple of months ago for about £1200. So much car for the money, so much so I'd prefer one to my X5. Did you get the Dolby stereo?
No mate, petrol. It's the 140bhp non turbo model. 2002. Boring silver. No tow bar.So a V70 Auto Estate. A diseasal ? What year and colour ?

It really is nothing at all exciting. I feel quite ashamed of myself.
Dunno about the Dolby Stereo. It's a 4 CD changer. How lovely.
700 notes though. Bare.
Do you feel slightly dirty ?
I once bought a 205 XS 1.4 for £150 as a runaround. That gave me a slightly grubby feeling.
More than a little grubby. It's weird because it's exactly what I wanted but at the same time I can't help but feel I should have spunked £2k+ and bought something I wanted rather than needed. Oh well, it's done now, and I'm sure it'll serve me well. And if it doesn't it's probably worth what I've paid for it in pure scrap value.Do you feel slightly dirty ?

It's Large.
Huge.
Gaping.
Cavernous.
Gargantuan.
Small-moon-like.
It creates its own gravitational field.
It causes tidal ripples in local reservoirs.
