My FIL has one of these on a K plate as his work car/runaround. He's owned it for the last 7/8 years and it's now done well over 100k. No rust on it and it stands up to some abuse trim wise. Don't think it's ever let him down yet.
I believe parts are expensive though and I don't know whether the car you're looking at is worth £595.

I had a later one of the same car, around 6 years ago, it was the worst car I ever had (based on Ford Probe - designed by a women incidently). The prices of parts were like Bentley parts and no motor factors could get them, e.g. electric aerial £275, rear antiroll bar link £47. I'd say just get a Mondeo, I wished I had. The autos are also very week, I didn't have one but remember people spitting feathers on the internet forum I was a member of.

Yeah, the autos are known to be very weak on the 626 (its a Ford unit IIRC), so best avoid to be honest!
For that money, you'd pick up a decent Accord (you'd be surprised what you could get for £600).

Never heard Gloucester described as "oop North" before!! I think of it as "darn Sarf".
|
I would not consider Gloucester as 'oop north' either. On my screen 160046770698 is located in West Lothian!!

Ah: found yr Gloucestershire Accord now Stevie. Yet another sickening Green car but thanks for the lead. Have put it on watch and might pop up the road and look at it at weekend.
