So, last year my daughter sold her 1.4 8V Grande Punto, the guy buying it had a 1.2 8v MK2b he needed to get rid of that before he could have hers, he said it had a few scuffs and scratches and a pretty poor home done bonnet respray so she said I'll give you £100 off my GP for it (it had 8 months MOT). He said OK!
He drove down, took the GP away and my daughter said do I want it.....I work from home and don't really need a car, we've an Astra that the missus uses to get to work...I said OK, why not a £100 runabout for 8 months, bound to fail the next MOT, I'll then scrap it.
So..... long story short, took it for the MOT last week, sailed through, only advisories were oil leak (cam cover gasket ) and tyres on the legal limit. Woohoo, as a present I've bought it some alloys and got some new tyres coming as well, happy days, not bad for a near 90k 11 year old car :slayer:
Oh, one little nugget from this......my daughter charged me £200 for the car! Cheeky mare
