I have a 2.0 Honda Accord in green.

It's all green on every panel, but maybe nt brand new condition.

Never skipped a beat in the 27 odd thousand miles we've drove in the year. But you might want to remove the parcel tape holding on the passenger side mirror and fix it on properly.

I need to sell as we are moving and surplus to requirments.

120,000 odd miles on the speedo, loadsa history, MOT, tax and clean enough inside.

If you want cheap insurance aim for 1.4L and below, preferably four door, base-spec etc. . . etc

if you want a cheap runabout thats nippy, handles like a go kart and does 55 mpg and tax and insurance is dirt cheap then you could buy my fiat chinkvimto sporting.
ah, but your not having it. its not for sale.
but you can pick em up for cheap as chips money though. and they are so much fun.
mines even got electric windows and an electric battery.

EDGE

its a combined (purchase price + tax + insurance) = cheap as chips im going for here.....

daveyboy

300 or 400 to buy. im an old git at 41 but with no no claims for a second car insurance was 110 and tax is 130 a year.

daveyboy

And you wouldn't look like a guy in a Fiat, which is never a bad thing

Although I have heard recently that Italian motors are quite reliable....
