Just done a bit of a deal... £200 for a 760 2.3 Turbo Auto Estate.

Got a 4th person, some one I work with called Sarah.

The car has got 270K on the clock! but it sounds and looks great. Its comming from Leeds and should be able to pick it up at the end of the month.

Although ill use it for a little bit, see if it needs anything, maybe use it for 2 weeks or so.

In that time Ill check economy and if it is to much then Ill either sell it back to the guy I bought it off or just to some random bod :)

I also got the stickers for the Rally delivered, however they have gone back to the depot as I wasnt in.

Id say at a safe bet youll get 15-22mpg(best) out of it.

Your range rover was made in 95 wasnt it? This is a 88 model car with an engine designed in about 82. You really cant say thats a fair comparison since the design is by 2 different companies (renault and range rover?) and in 2 different decades :roll: so shush :P


Ill see what the mpg is when I get the car :)

mr_roll

I just found out my nana will actually be buying the car for me if everything goes well!! :D

mr_roll

Got the car stickers today too! :D

She plans on it, however Im unsure how sure she is... Ill ask her for the entrance money.

Sara

Hope shes good fun!

BTW how is the car, does she drink fuel? We have to start thinking how were going to get over there, like... book the car onto Eurostar etc!

I need to be back home for a course on the 11th so we need to think about the trip home too...
