Just been having a quick look in the classifieds/AutoTrader for Mrs.NCoT - they're so cheap!

3-3.5k seems to net you a 51 plate 1.7 Lux with 50k miles on it in decent nick with SH!

Does that seem about right?

No idea about cambelt, not mentioned in ads. I can't see many private sellers being happy when told by the buyers that their car is overdue a belt change (I think the manual states 10 years/100k miles, revised schedule is 5 years 80k miles, so most late cars will be due the change...)

When was the change to the service schedule made?

NCT - hold out for one with full spec, worth trying to find one of the special editions (Black or Thunder) as they've got leather too, as well as the options / Lux spec kit.

Unless they've got HFS and AC, don't bother as it's a buyer's market for them at the moment.
Cheers Podie - deffo looking for the Lux pack, Mrs. doesn't want leather though.

If you can stomach the garish yellow paint then the Millenium has half leather. There's one in Starling Motors just north of Stevenage for £3.8k IIRC.

She definitely won't go for the yellow wink She likes Melina blue at the moment but that's only on cars before 99 iirc, so that nice metallic green is winning the battle currently. We already have 2 other black cars and she doesn't like boring silvers/greys or solid colours like red smile

That pretty much leaves green!

Jewel green in 97/98, Electric green in 99 (short lived IIRC) and then Pacific green from 2000.
Blimey - are they all pretty similar? I've not noticed a difference!
