This thread will tell the tale of my new fleet member designed primarily as a temporary car until my Subaru is sorted. The tale of that can be found on
this thread. So assuming you have caught up there I needed something, cheap to buy, cheap to run ideally with aircon and reliable to get the three of us to Germany and back. As I worked around the market place I began to refine my needs taking into account recent info on Tax rates and fuel consumption leading me to try and find a 1.6 HDi, foregoing my recent shunning of diesel in favour of economy, with an auto gearbox. I was unsuccessful so I relented and looked for an EGS boxed option.
I managed to find a 2009 C4 VTR+ which meets the requirements and has just 72000 miles on the clock. I went to see and test drive it yesterday and I was very pleased with the ride and handling so I have bought it. It is in need of some paintwork which I can sort in due course and attention to a split strut top rubber which happened when the owner replaced the coil spring. That may or may not need doing before the trip, I'll take a view with Jim and Zel's advice on Friday. The car is being brought to me tomorrow and I'll put some pics up then.
So here I go on yet another French car adventure!!
