Had my car serviced today, a waiting appointment, had a look around the secondhand cars and could not believe the price of them - the garage simply said that they cannot get new cars still nance second hand prices, he was talking about £30k for a new Cora’s that cannot be right

every time I go for a kebab the owner of the shop tries to buy my car off me. I could sell it at the moment for profit after running it for almost 3 years, but then I'd have the problem of how to replace it? my current mindset is hang on to it for as long as possible
on the fiesta, I have quite mixed memories of a 1.3 supersport (great car but the wipers didnt work)

The super sport that was one I looked at with admiring eyes but no purse to secure one so had to be happy with my two door Viva HC. It did have tiger skin seat covers  |

If you think about the Fiesta deeply though......the Fiesta of 2023 was not the Fiesta of 1977. A lot of things are just 'things' in name. Example: The Ford Focus could still be called the Escort. But. Well......it isn't. Where am I going with this? Dunno. Anyway, as you were. |
