well to be honest, my 300tdi has been wrecked (cosmetically) but since i've had a promotion, i've found myself able to sort out the cosmetic issues and it's slowly becoming....PRETTY? hence the reason for wanting a shiny TD5. more miles on the tarmac than off it. but still capable for the (very) occasional weekend off. it's on the forecourt for £8500 but with my (almost pretty) 300tdi and a big wad of CASH it's mine for £7k which i think is reasonable. 12months mot, 6months tax and 4months FULL warranty. and have to say the only marks on it is behind the handles (lady fingers?)
