Went to look at a silver 03 plate 172 earlier...usual story didn't think i would buy it before i left, but i just couldn't resist it. Been looking for a while and tbh it was the price compared to the condition that made me say yes. Had decided that 3k was my max budget, so knew i was going to get a totally mint one...but tbh this aint that far off. I little (and i mean little) scuff on the front bumper and some slightly kerbed wheels. Wasn't to bothered about the wheels as the other half is going to be learnign to drive on it, so wheels will get knackered....other than that it was in good condition.
It had 88K on the clock (milage worried me a little) but has been serviced well and had belts done. Full yrs mot (every little helps), was on 3.3k , but got them down to 2.8k which is i'm honest looking around at whats available im pretty chuffed....
So now i have a fun car that i can take to the track, and my gf has a nice little chic supermini to learn to drive in....its all gravy
