Where to look for a used car - any tips? - Sy
I'm looking for another mint 205 GTi to replace the one that a woman in a Rover wrote of for me. Nearly everything I see advertised (mostly AutoTrader etc..) has either:

- high miles
- been boy-racered
- not been looked after

Any leads appreciated.

Go to the main dealer and see the sales manager and explain. Depending on the year he may let you have a trade in 205 at the trade in price, no warrantee but the prices can be impressively low. Just bought a 106 Look 2 Mint 67K on a late R for £1500. Regards Peter

There a 20 of so for sale between Ebay and Pistonheads - a few good ones by the looks of it.
