Hi people
I am looking for a bit of advice from people, I am really thinking about buying a cinq in the next couple of weeks (i hope) depending on if i can get the £ together. I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on what to look out for, common problems, things that might cost a bomb to put right a few months down the line. It will be a cinq sporting that i am buying(only way to go[8D]). I have found a few on autotrader near me, like the grey one

I know that i should not buy it without the red key as this is not good. Also i know there is a 54,000 mile service that has to be done (as DJ_bucho has told me), is there anymore in the life of a cinq that must be done, etc. As the one I’m looking at has 28,000 miles on the clock (for N reg I think that’s canny good).
I am a 21 year old student in my last year at Uni as this will be my first car and I know insurance will to be VERY expensive [V]. Even though I have had my license for 3 years nearly, as it will be my first policy has anyone got any recommendations about good CHEAP companies to go with. As does anyone know any good garages around the North East that could possibly fix any problems that might happen. Just thinking ahead, as knowing my luck something will u tits up.
Cheers
