Advantages: Reliable

Disadvantages: Not very pretty

I am not a car person. I do not ooh and ahh over cars. As long as it gets me from A to B without breaking down, I don't care what it is or what it looks like.
I am not someone who would have a nice new sparkly car even if I could afford it, I only clean my car when I am going to sell it and get something else. I do this quite frequently because I get easily bored. That said, my last two cars have been Vauxhall Belmonts and I have not got bored with them yet.
I kept the first one for about two years, which is something of a record for me, and then only sold it to replace it with a cheaper to run Diesel Belmont, which I have had for almost a year.
There is nothing special about these cars, they are not great to look at and do not go particularly fast, however, in three years, I have had not a days trouble from either of them.
Both are old cars (1986) and have needed some maintenece for MOT's but neither ever let me down. They got me to work through cold and rain.
If you want something steady and reliable, I would recomend a Vauxhall Belmont to any second hand car buyer.
