In two minds whether to take up this offer, wondering if I am getting the bargain I think I am. 02 plate 110, reconditioned ngine by land rover,2.5 td5, can't recall milage but it's average, tow bar, winch etc on, £5k?

Have you driven one yet? Definitely an 'acquired' taste especially if you were born with elbows.

I drive them daily for work and have done for the last 9 months or so, that's how I'm getting this one, I've been using it for weekends etc when my car has been off the road

I prefer the 130 if I'm honest but it wouldn't do for every day use

Price is ok, just sold an S reg for similar, although was a 90, not keen on the 110 and 130 to be honest, look too long

See I prefer the 130, lovely although heavy to drive. Unfortunately the 130 isn't for sale. Thinking this will be ideal for towing, having dogs in the back, all weather and let's face it, a winch doesn't come in wrong

If you want to factor in mods and servicing then yeah. But thats obvious, what was I going to do charge them for what it cost me to do the cambelt 5 months previous.
Perhaps I should have invoiced him

Stuff like the vinyl wrap and alloys should've actually increased the value.
None of your lip boy.

Aye that's true. I wouldn't be selling mine for what I paid for it that's for sure

I was contemplating a new Defender the other day as a second car. Do the new ones have isofix points?

I notice a pattern Steve:
1) You buy something.
2) You obsess about it.
3) You spend fortunes making it perfect.
4) You sell it / get bored.
You do realise you are going to do your bollocks financially if the same cycle occurs with the Corsa?
