Well done mate, the focus is a great car, really smooth and great to drive.
I went to the car market yesterday to help my sister get a new car and we got a 02 Astra Club 1.6, 89k on the clock, MOT till May 2010 & Tax till November 09. it was a 2 owner car with full service history, metalic blue and has a few goodies fitted. We paid £1200 including all the fees and she loves it.
Bargain of the day was a 2.0 ltr SE, 98 R reg black Gen 1, 41k, fully serviced and 1 owner from new. The car was traded into a local Honda dealerhip so they just wanted it sold to the highest bedder. It had no MOT or Tax but came with full service history and you could tell it had been owned by an elderly person because it had been serviced every year regardless of mileage. I ran really sweet and the bodywork was immaculate, not 1 bit of rust anywhere. I was trying to get my sister to go for it and she was really tempted but it just wasn't practical. Shame really because it sold for £350.......Yep, that's right, £350. It would have probably sailed through the MOT and I could see my sister was gutted she never bid. The sad thing is that it will probably end up on a dealers forcourt for £1799.
Sorry for hijacking your thread Paul especially as you hate Astra's so much but I just thought I would share
that was a long time ago tho.
