sounds like a bargain would need to check it first though.

I'd be very very wary, but you never know. Ring and ask for a reg no. and do an HPI check, theyre £5 with RAC.com

Re: have i found a bargain?

50% depreciation in the first 2 years is pretty much normal for any car in this sector these days and a lot of people are going to be dissapointed come trade in time. Remember this a poverty-spec car, its not highly sought after and the market is flooded with them so it aint going to be worth a lot. The people to feel sorry for are the ones who bought their cars 2 years ago on a no deposit/long term low rate finance deal........they will be in negative equatity now and owe more than their car is actually worth.
