Well I done it bought a 1.8 comfort on a w reg with 31.000 miles. Though its
a ex lex fleet car it was on a long term contract with 1 driver. Looking at
the recipes in the glove box it was a lady from Leeds. Full service history
and service book stamped. Before lex sold it they put on new discs and pads
all round (shoes and drums rear not sure book just said front and rear
breaks and pads replaced) new nears side front calliper windscreen rubber
trim known problem I have found out. 4 new tyres and full 40,000 mile
service inc break fluid change and documented on a lex history report that
comes with the car. the next thing is the belt changes at 60.000 but I may
do them sooner.
The interior is spotless with no damage to the seats or trim. got the
garage that was selling it to throw in 12 months road tax too. screen price
didn't include tax.
very pleased drives well as good as the 1 year old one I drove from Vauxhall
( just to see what nearly new drove like compared to a older car.I would
recommend doing this to any used car) still has the unused first aid kit in
the boot. Oh and the rear cubby hole has a fire extinguisher fitted.
The only thing that let it down was having to press the throttle slightly to
get it to start. but I think that was me being inpatient. I turn the key and
after about 3 seconds of not firing I touched the throttle and she fired
up.the car had had its battery off for a week so I assume that could of
messed things up. the sales man said he will have it checked and would put
some fuel in the fuel light was flashing. now have to wait a week till my
next day off so I can collect the car.
I would of liked a Diesel but they are very expensive and like rocking horse
dung.
Thanks for the advice
