Saab's will go on forever? It's a vectra in disguise most likely.

You'd probably be better of flogging the copen privately then buying something you want. Mondeo is a good plan for cheap and good!

I've been seeing the little red Copen as I pass on the way to work. Think the Saab will be a very good choice!

Surely that's not right, is it? I'm thinking maybe there's a '1' missing from the beginning of the mileage there... Seems bloody cheap for what it is! If that is legit, i'd buy that in a heartbeat!

Have to admit, something doesn't feel right about the ad, for starters it says cloth seat trim and the pics look like leather. Also the car in the pic appears to be a sport and the ad says its an SE.

Finally, the cars listd as private but the number is for a dealer:

Cars 01732 822500
Gravesend Road, Crab Tree Close, Wrotham, Sevenoaks, TN15 7JL


However the suggstion still stands.

Could be worth having a look at the smaller engined options? Might feel a bit sluggish though.

I suspect theyre a bit cautios of getting their fingers burnt on a car that is fairly unususal and unlikely to have much demand particularly at this time of year.

If I was you I'd hold fire untill the weather starts to warm up again and try then. Have you tried owner...

Actually, scratch that, just checked the owners clubsite and your cars already here and it says you can't wait until spring...webuyanycar.com?

I bought a new fiesta zetec s in 2001, kept it for 9 months and 19000 miles.

Great little car and really enjoyed it.It just didn't challenge me though.

Replaced it with the a Corrado VR6 which I kept for 3 years and would probably still have now if it wasn't for bloddy company cars.

May be worth a try for cheap motoring though.

I wouldn't want to take a Copen - small sales audience. If they haven't sold one before then they have no idea how long it may be sitting around for...

Skoda Fabia VRS? Quick, economical, reliable, and in budget with some haggling.

Why can't you just sell it privately?

After all the issues you've had, this sounds like a great deal.
