I quite fancy a big old diesel with the miles I'm doing.

Looks alright, low miles, and as you say, what could possibly go wrong!  :y

If you really want a pit to throw your money into, then I suggest a Mercedes CLS 500.

My particular example cost about £1200 in 3 months.....and that was using an indie. :-\

Will I learn from my mistakes?.......Nope....not a chance. ;D

Yours might have been, but I bought one like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-Peugeot-406-2-0HDi-110-2001MY-LX-Estate-5-door-/111590662193?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fb526031) in the auctions a couple of years ago for £400 to use as a workhorse. I used, abused, did about 10,000 miles in it over 6 months and then sold it to a local builder for £600 and he still has it.  8)  I'd have another.  :y

That's because they are public enemy number one. Their days as the 'golden boy' of the motoring world are behind them now.

The dirty filthy soot chuckers. :D
