It will come to you all. Each of your off-spring grows up (relatively speaking), passes their driving test and, at some point, 'needs' to buy a car. So if you, Dear Father/Mother have any experience of buying cars, then you are roped in to help/advise/negotiate/be blamed if things go wrong ! Our elder daughter got the best deal. When she decided that she was in a position to buy a car, our 3-years-old Vauxhall Corsa (on which her sister and brother had also learned to drive) was just ready for 'disposal', so it was 'disposed' of to her at what I termed 'net' trade price. That is the price that I was offered in a part ...

I bought this to replace my dearly beloved (despised) 1989 VW Polo, and it's quite a culture shock to end up buying a car with electric windows and one that doesn't whine and rattle constantly. The specification of the car is pretty good for a mid-'90s small car - front electric windows, retractable sunroof, foglights, remote central locking, colour-coded bumpers, four stereo speakers and power-assisted steering. In fact the only thing it could do with is a rev counter (why no rev counters on your older diesels, Renault?). In fact I probably hit the jackpot with this car considering nearly every diesel Clio I've seen has been a poverty-spec ...
