    Default MG diesel

    Looking for a second car to use during the winter but also all round for the family and stuff. Milage not really a concern as long as it's not a complete shed, upto about £1500 for the right car. As long as it has Air con, and a fairly long MOT that's all that matters.

    If anyone knows of one somewhere can they let me know please?

    Many thanks!

    Seems it's my luck as usual then! Found a nice pair of Saab 9-3 hatchbacks might be interested in going for

    I would have said a 75 CDT but like one of my ex girlfriends who worked as new bands manager for EMI in the early 80's - real crackers can be a bit high rent!
    Mind you she had a Lotus Sunbeam as a company car and a flat in Victoria so if wasn't all expensive nights out.

    personally I would say a pug or Citroen hdi as long as the belts are changed the engines go on forever, my mate bob has a 405 with 260,000 miles on it and he still tows his caravan with it.

    If its for the whole family I would highly recommend a ZT/75 cdt or i. Put the ron box on and it is well up for driving.
