one thing to note with Mercedes-Benz, dont trust yer butt when you sit in one, the seats are actualy fantasticly comfortable, they feel a bit odd at first, but are orthapedicly designed, so back / butt ache never happens, ever.

[Roadkill]

Not bad . . . although I suspect it'll go for more then £1000 which I just don't have to spend . . .

[philoldsmobile]

worth keeping an eye on though..

slow, but cavernous, economical, and will outlast every vauxhall ever made.. if it stays within budget, its going to be about the best car you could buy for the money..

[Roadkill]

TBH, I'll be lucky to have £850 for spending at the mo' . . . .

Now that is tempting . . hadn't thought of going from that approach . . .

[philoldsmobile]

hmm... that has very little damage too....


ask ian about cherokees - they drink more than astros... go well though

[Motorama]

My F150 which has the 5.4 Triton V8 is doing the equivalent of 33 mpg. I would think this would do as well or better.
There plenty of these Jeeps with LPG for sale around that money. They are all fully loaded and the engines go on forever with minimal routine maintenance. This one is a facelift model too with the later bumpers and interior. I'm tempted as a runabout myself.

[philoldsmobile]

oh yeah, LPG is a must on cherokees, they are silly otherwise...


cross my old mans palm with £8000 and the tahoe could be yours, i honestly dont think there are many better or higher spec ones about

I wouldnt be spending that kind of money on a car with that kind of millage...

I can see what philo is saying and coming from the dub scene i know how good some german dervs are and it is probablly a good car BUT for that money you could get something newer with less miles..  The engine may last but what about running gear??? ahh bearings

My Ford Mondeo is a '97 estate with 85k on and full service history.. i paid £950............................................

[Cunning Plan]

Conceded the fact that THAT particular car has a certain 'classic / special' quality to it..

Motorama ?

[Motorama]

No, not me.

I thought i was a good deal though. Second hand bumper for £50 and you would of had a tidy car you could run for a year and get your money back.

[Roadkill]

Quoting: Motorama

No, not me.

I know . . . . I had a look for others but that was certainly the best deal going.

Suitable vectras seem few and far between . . . .

Looks like I better get used to a Mundane-O.
