In november I got an R reg mk4 1.6 8v ls astra for £400 with 9 months mot and new headgasket and timing belt and 79k. Rear arches are bit rusty and few scuffs here and there but runs spot on and still got it. May keep or might sell if someone comes along with some cash
Surely that's a typo?

Both my Citroens have been bargains, first was 6 months old and I got 3k off the asking price because I was slippin his neice (he owns the citroen garages in torquey, exeter and somewhere else).
Traded it in 8 months later for 2k more than I bought it for, got my car brand new minus citroen deals (was about £1500), my px, and a full tank and new mats and 3 free services. So it made a 16k car very cheap
