Tis a nice shade of blue. Similar to Mrs Opti's Corsa which Vauxhall call  'ultra blue'.

they nip along quite nicely steve and fuel econamy is not too bad about 25 -30 round town and 35-40 on a run but quite low geared  the one i had was better than the shogun derv i had before it  that did 17 to the gallon on a run
which was worse than a fange rover

Just been having a read-up. It weighs over 2 (metric) tonne.

Fat bastard.

Fuel economy will suffer, if I'm not careful, I could be spending nearly as much as someone who drives an omega.

Thats not possible MR

Not a fan of that colour but like the car. 

[STMO123]

Been thinking about this....lots. It's not the car I originally went to look at, that was sub-par. When I test drove the Suzi, the salesman assured me that it was not permanent four wheel drive. It is. The camshaft is chain driven, will last forever if serviced properly. This says 'partial history' which, according to the forums is not good.
So...I'm getting a car which doesn't handle very well but is great off-road, that I didn't really choose, with dodgy history and, to rub salt in the wounds, will cost a lot more in fuel, tax and insurance. Oh, and I've never driven on the pavement, never mind off-road.

Guess who I'm calling in the morning? I'll loses my £200 deposit, but no way round that one.

My trusty zafira lives!

Gnats piss.

If the Salesmans 'Speil' was inaccurate and formed a material reason in your decision to buy the vehicle,then surely you are entitled to return the vehicle without losing your deposit Steve
Methinks Trading Standards need to be involved.

Can't return what I haven't got, Phil. Keep up.

I've got a lovely 330i that would suit you a treat  .

[Del Boy]

Oh and to point out, the car wasn't as he described it to you, so I'd argue over the deposit.

[albitz]

No it wouldnt.Hes 107 ffs !

Suppose I could, Del. Doubt I'd get anywhere though. It says 'non-returnable' and I think they'd dig their heels in. They have taxed it at £280, but I think they'll get that back.
What I can do is transfer the deposit to another car, but I'm not rushing into anything... at my age.

Ive updated my profile, Albs.
