Anyone recommend a good second hand car?

Cars that are about 8 years old tend to cost least to run; anything newer than that depriciates, anything much older soon needs costly repairs.

Thanks, will keep that in mind, having a look at some tomorrow.

:) I believe Jap' cars are reliable but spares expensive, Brit cars unreliable but cheaper spares- so, old Toyota/Hyundi and ;scrap yard spares.

We had Toyota for 10 yrs-Ford Mondeo 12 yrs- recently bought 7yr old Citroen Piccasa diesel, all VERY reliable.

Honest John' on the internet- my OH is never off it!.

Bit tipsy, might not make the steak. Oops.

Suspects that Booo is now passed out next to a microwave meal.

If we both stand on our respective beaches and wave, we will look crazy. But yes, he's across the water from me not far away.

Swim over and I'll buy you a pint!

Buy a fan, Chip.
