StephenFord Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Car is 18 years old, starts on 1st twist of key, and I believe that she's also ULEZ compliant. Of course it's worth peanuts, but in 4 years of my ownership, never really let me down. Might even treat her to an oil change at end of month as long as she passes her MOT! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooded Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I鈥檝e got a 16 year old one that鈥檚 barely run in with 75k on the clock. Full Ford service history for the first 12 years of its life.聽 The 1.8 Petrol engine starts first time every time and runs really smooth, and the interior looks almost like a new car. Rust will kill it though eventually sadly (it originally came from a coastal village).聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we went to buy it in 2003, thinking how, 'snazzy' it was compared to my Toyota Celica at the time. It is the 'sporty CDX version', but pretty sure even basic ones had it. I still get a buzz driving it today and watch the rev counter activate! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 My sister inherited my dad's van when he had to stop driving, Suzuki carry van 24 yrs old . 30, 000 from new.
