The time has come

[Cambam]

Okay people, the time is getting closer to getting a new car. As some of you know, I have had nothing but trouble with my car, but I have always had them fixed.

Its a reflex green, 1.4sx, P-reg, 126k on the clock, 17" stilo alloys, arbarth rear spoiler. ITs been lowered 35/40mm.

I bought the car for £1400 back in Dec 2004, had it nearly a year and a half.

I am looking to part ex it for a new car, but am willing to listen to any offers near the £1000 mark. I live in the North East, Middlesbrough to be precise.

just a sugestion, but saying the comment 'i've had nothing but trouble from the car' and then trying to sell it may put people off

I dont mean to deflate youm but a 1.4 with 126k on the clock is worth about £400 at best. BUT, on the bright side, its only depreciated at a rate of about £750 per year. some people lose that in their first couple of months.

Thought I was looking a bit too high.

As an aside, what other smallish cars, in the lower insurance groups (up to about a 1.4) are pretty decent and reliable? I been thinking of

Honda Civic
Peugoet 206
Mitsubishi Colt
SEAT Ibiza/Leon
VW Golf
MG ZR
Rover 25 Series

No Corsa's though, nor Saxo's.

What about the horrendous gearbox issues the 1.2 Phase I and II's have?

Just took my car to the garage, and it looks like the head gasket. So that is getting sorted out now.

Been looking at new cars, and I must say, the 206 is a nice little car, could be my next car.

All the things wrong with my car have been right-ed, so it still drives nice.
