Anyone in Plymouth - that's a bargain! I wouldn't want to work for someone that hates me! He shouldn't blame the car 'cos he hits something in the road, or complain when the alternator goes pop after 130,000 miles. Talk about chucking out the baby with the bathwater! Very amusing rant though.

To be fair, they aren't wrong. If you want cheap reliable motoring, look elsewhere.

The bit about poorly cows had me.

That's not far off where I am with mine at the moment

I absolutely love the line, "If you want something that looks good on a tow truck because its broken again - dont buy it, (Alfa Romeo is excellent at this)"

"Leaks like hell in the boot and fills with water, spend weeks chasing out all the water leaks and drying it out. Boot used to fill up with minor drizzle, and during the cold snap it became its own personal ice rink."

Cant fault him there. I would give anything for a dry boot!!!!!!

Anyone wants to take up the challenge...………….

That sounds like every 75 diesel I've ever encountered, and sums things up ownership very nicely

Johnathan is actually a nice guy with a sense of humour as you can see lol the car is worth every penny and more I just haven’t the room or it would be in stock at that price as they say honesty is the best policy

That's a very funny ad and also quite clever..two things I always doubted the wisdom of, Findus lasagna and messing about changing alternator brushes

for those good with cars this must be worth a punt? He is asking £200 I wonder if he would take less?
