Search mate, thats all i can say! I travelled on a round trip of nearly 500 miles last weekend for my current one, one thing that doesnt bother me is distance, i mean its only a day out of my life! We travelled 9 hour round trip to get my mates VTS, and how many of those are there in Brtiain...
Ok, i bought a 51 plate black 172 with 95k on it in november last year off a member on here, mint is was with full history and everything done on it, and i paid £3200!!
That got written off a few weeks back after doing 101k, and still ran sweet as a nut, but little things were wrong with it...
At work theres a Monaco Blue 04 plate 172 been traded in, i saw it on the pitch today for wait for it...
£9299!!! Looks mint but thats very steep aint it!
The 101k beast died, a nasty Escort killed her!
I think the only difference is it hasnt a factory alarm? It had 3 years warranty though, obviously not now!
And no belts done, but thats nooo problem for me ;)
The guy has looked after this like it was his child, ive receipts for everything! Each MOT is in its own folder, with the emissions printout, the bill, the healthcheck, he's kept every tax disc and the reminder you get from the DVLA, because he's filled in the mileage on them to keep it all...
Absolutely over the moon!
One Owner - 30ish year old guy, 57k, full history with loads of receipts inc oil changes every 6k, mint bodywork, only been used as a weekend car since november, and a receipt for a full exhaust inc cat - £780!!
All for £4950! He wants something good to replace it...
I can bet its been owned by a mobile security firm, at work (Ford) we have a company with two 05 reg new shape Focuses that are on around 170k each, they just drive round sites checking, then onto the next one
Ive always had loans, helping my credit record along the way!
Currently got a £8k loan because i went mad on my credit cards, regret it now but whats done is done, just pay my payments every month, and it'll be gone eventually!
Well, they've written it off now and offered me....
£3659
They say book value is £4600 with 60k on, so they've knocked £700 off for the mileage, and they've knocked the rest off because of a 50p sized dent in the boot!! I asked them if i had the dent removed for about £40, could i get all of...
Right im pretty sure my 172 will be written off, so i need to start looking for a replacement, but how much do you think the insurance will offer me? It wasnt my fault and will be claiming off her insurance if that mnakes any difference

Service history is stamps in the book
HPI will only tell if its been in a bump or finance still on it etc
Only thing with no service history is theres no gaurentee belts etc have been done, but id be quite confident a 4 year old car will have been serviced a few times in its life!
