Yes, today we went to the local book fair. I bought some books and on the way back, swmbo bought a Citroen for a grand!

Who'd have thought she'd buy a car! Haggled it down from £1250 too!

Now I'll let you guess what she bought!

none of the above!

2005, 180k on the clock but good service history! Needs two tyres very soon and probably a back box in the Spring. Driver's seat is a bit tatty.

If it was a C4 2.0 HDi at that price it would have been a steal...

I reckon that's why m-o is so pleased.

It could be a dispatch van...or a Berlingo van or multispace. I think that would suit the load carrying requirement.

It's a Dispatch 6 seater!

Still think it's alright for a grand - nice blue too.
