A friend took me up to collect the car this afternoon. The car normally sits outside apparently but to my surprise the seller had put the car into his garage a couple of days ago after giving it a good clean and Hoover out.
As the car has sat for some 4 months not being used, it's been replaced by a tourer, he had kept it in the garage with the central heating boiler beside it to dry it out. The car doesn't leak but the condensation had made the seats feel damp.
I had a very nice drive home, some 48 miles of motorway, dual carriageway, town driving and countryside driving. It drives very well with very few rattles.
Only the electric door mirrors don't work and the drivers door window goes down properly but you need to keep working the switch to get it to go back up again.
With a very full service history, 146,000 miles on it, 4 recent new tyres and a fitted tow bar I think I have got a bit of a bargain. Only time will tell if I'm right though.
